Description

Ethanone, 1-[(2R)-Tetrahydro-2-Furanyl]- (9Ci) is a chiral, non-racemic ketone derivative featuring a tetrahydrofuran ring, serving as a valuable synthetic intermediate. Its defined stereochemistry makes it a critical building block for the enantioselective synthesis of complex molecules, ensuring high-purity outcomes in advanced manufacturing. This compound is primarily sought by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies engaged in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), agrochemicals, and specialty fine chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon in the research and production of enantiomerically pure drugs, particularly for central nervous system (CNS) and antiviral targets.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of novel, stereospecific pesticides and herbicides where biological activity is chirality-dependent.
• Asymmetric Catalysis Research: Employed as a substrate or ligand precursor in the development and testing of new chiral catalysts.
• Fine Chemical Production: Serves as a starting material for the synthesis of flavors, fragrances, and other high-value specialty chemicals requiring specific stereochemistry.
• Academic & R&D: Utilized in university and corporate laboratories for methodological studies in organic synthesis and stereochemistry.

Quality Control

Every batch of Ethanone, 1-[(2R)-Tetrahydro-2-Furanyl]- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. We guarantee high chiral purity and chemical consistency, supported by comprehensive analytical testing including chiral HPLC, GC, and NMR. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to ensure compliance with your research and development specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider maintaining under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to preserve stability and purity.
