Description

(1S)-(-)-10-Mercaptoisoborneol is a high-purity, chiral mercaptoterpene compound of significant interest in advanced organic synthesis. Its unique structure, featuring a thiol group on a rigid isoborneol scaffold, makes it a valuable building block for creating ligands, catalysts, and chiral auxiliaries. This product is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries who require enantiomerically pure intermediates for asymmetric synthesis and fragrance development.

Application

• Chiral Ligand Synthesis: A key precursor for the development of novel ligands used in asymmetric catalysis for pharmaceutical manufacturing.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a building block in the synthesis of enantiomerically pure active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the development of chiral pesticides and herbicides where specific stereochemistry is critical for activity.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the synthesis of complex fragrance and flavor molecules that require a specific terpene-thiol character.
• Material Science: Potential monomer or cross-linking agent in the development of specialty polymers with unique properties.
• Catalyst Development: Utilized to create metal-thiolate complexes for catalytic applications.

Quality Control

Our (1S)-(-)-10-Mercaptoisoborneol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and specific test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place away from incompatible materials.
