Description

(R)-(+)-1,2-Epoxydecane CAS NO 67210-36-0 is a high-purity, chiral epoxide building block of significant value in asymmetric synthesis. Its enantiomeric purity makes it a critical intermediate for the production of optically active compounds, enabling precise control over stereochemistry in complex molecular architectures. This specialty chemical is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors who require reliable, high-quality chiral synthons.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral building block for synthesizing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with specific stereochemistry, particularly in antiviral and cardiovascular drug research.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of enantiomerically pure pesticides and herbicides, where biological activity is often stereospecific.
• Liquid Crystal & Advanced Material Precursor: Serves as a starting material for chiral dopants and other components in liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and functional polymers.
• Flavor & Fragrance Chemistry: Employed in the synthesis of chiral aroma chemicals and flavoring agents to achieve specific sensory profiles.
• Asymmetric Catalysis Research: A valuable substrate for developing and testing new chiral catalysts and methodologies in academic and industrial R&D labs.
• Polymer Modification: Acts as a reactive monomer or cross-linking agent for introducing specific functional groups into polymer chains.

Quality Control

Every batch of our (R)-(+)-1,2-Epoxydecane is produced and tested under strict quality management systems. We guarantee high enantiomeric excess (e.e.) and chemical purity through advanced analytical techniques including chiral GC/HPLC, NMR, and GC-MS. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to ensure it meets your specific research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong acids and incompatible materials such as oxidizing agents and bases. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to maintain purity and prevent potential polymerization or degradation.
