Description

(R)-2-Amino-6-Methylheptane, 98% E.E., 95 is a high-purity, chiral amine building block of significant importance in asymmetric synthesis. Its high enantiomeric excess makes it a critical intermediate for the production of optically active pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. This product is essential for research and development chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, fine chemical, and advanced material sectors seeking reliable, high-quality chiral auxiliaries and intermediates.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral building block for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in the development of drugs targeting neurological and cardiovascular diseases.
• Asymmetric Catalyst Ligand: Used in the preparation of chiral ligands for transition metal catalysts, enabling enantioselective hydrogenation, alkylation, and other critical transformations.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for chiral herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators, where the specific stereochemistry can impact biological activity and environmental profile.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the manufacture of specialty chemicals, flavors, and fragrances that require precise stereochemical control.
• Academic & Industrial Research: A valuable reagent for methodological development in organic chemistry and for exploring new reaction pathways in process chemistry.

Quality Control

Our production of (R)-2-Amino-6-Methylheptane adheres to stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high enantiomeric purity. Each lot is characterized by advanced analytical techniques including chiral HPLC, GC, and NMR to verify the 98% enantiomeric excess (E.E.) and 95% chemical purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request, supporting compliance in cGMP and ISO 9001 environments.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation and maintain purity.
