Description

(R)-(-)-2-Nonanol CAS NO 70419-07-7 is a high-purity chiral secondary alcohol, specifically the (R)-enantiomer of 2-nonanol. This compound is a valuable chiral building block and flavor/fragrance intermediate, prized for its distinct organoleptic properties and stereochemical purity. It is essential for manufacturers in the flavors and fragrances, pharmaceutical, and fine chemical synthesis industries seeking enantiomerically pure materials for advanced applications.

Application

• Flavor and Fragrance Ingredient: Used as a key chiral component in the synthesis of sophisticated fruity, waxy, and citrus-like aroma compounds.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a chiral synthon in the asymmetric synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other bioactive molecules.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile chiral auxiliary or starting material in organic synthesis, particularly for introducing stereocenters.
• Research & Development: Utilized in academic and industrial R&D for studying stereoselective reactions and developing new synthetic methodologies.
• Agrochemicals: Potential intermediate in the production of chiral pesticides or plant growth regulators where specific stereochemistry is required for activity.
• Liquid Crystal Materials: Can be employed in the synthesis of chiral dopants for liquid crystal displays (LCDs).
