Description

(S)-(+)-Glycidyl Butyrate is a high-purity, chiral epoxide derivative of butyric acid, valued for its role as a versatile chiral building block in asymmetric synthesis. Its single enantiomer purity is critical for producing optically active intermediates with high stereoselectivity. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries developing advanced active ingredients and fine chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: A key chiral synthon for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in routes requiring enantiomerically pure epoxides.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of chiral herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators where specific stereochemistry is required for biological activity.
• Polymer Modification: Serves as a reactive monomer or cross-linking agent for introducing ester and epoxide functionalities into polymers, enhancing properties like adhesion or chemical resistance.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the manufacture of specialty chemicals, including flavors, fragrances, and advanced material precursors.
• Asymmetric Catalysis Research: A valuable substrate in academic and industrial R&D for developing and testing new chiral catalysts and synthetic methodologies.
• Liquid Crystal & Electronic Materials: Can be utilized in the synthesis of chiral dopants and components for advanced display technologies.

Quality Control

Our (S)-(+)-Glycidyl Butyrate is produced under strict quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assay and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for advanced synthetic applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for enantiomeric excess, chemical purity, and identity is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to prevent hydrolysis and maintain purity.
