Description

(1R,2S,4R)-Norborna-5-Ene-2-Ol CAS NO 71030-15-4 is a high-purity, chiral bicyclic alcohol derivative of norbornene, serving as a critical chiral building block and ligand precursor in advanced organic synthesis. Its rigid, three-dimensional structure and defined stereochemistry make it invaluable for constructing complex molecular architectures with precise spatial orientation. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries, particularly for developing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), catalysts, and novel materials.

Application

• Chiral Intermediate in Pharmaceutical Synthesis: A key building block for the production of enantiomerically pure drugs, especially in central nervous system (CNS) and antiviral therapeutic areas.
• Ligand for Asymmetric Catalysis: Used to synthesize chiral phosphine or other donor ligands for transition metal catalysts in asymmetric hydrogenation and C-C bond formation reactions.
• Agrochemical Intermediate: Employed in the synthesis of chiral pesticides and herbicides to enhance efficacy and reduce environmental impact.
• Monomer for Specialty Polymers: Acts as a functional monomer for creating polymers with unique thermal and mechanical properties, such as polyolefins with modified characteristics.
• Material Science Research: Utilized in the development of advanced organic electronic materials and liquid crystals due to its rigid, strained framework.
• Flavor and Fragrance Chemistry: Serves as a precursor for synthesizing specific terpene-based aroma compounds.

Quality Control

Our (1R,2S,4R)-Norborna-5-Ene-2-Ol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC, to ensure compliance with exacting standards for research and industrial use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, the container should be kept sealed after each use to minimize exposure to air.
