Description

(R)-10-Methyl-1-Dodecanol Acetate is a high-purity, chiral acetate ester of a branched-chain fatty alcohol, distinguished by its specific (R)-enantiomeric configuration. This precise stereochemistry is critical for applications where molecular handedness influences biological activity, odor profile, or material properties. It serves as a valuable chiral intermediate and building block for advanced synthesis in the pharmaceutical, fragrance, and specialty chemical industries, where enantiomeric purity is a key performance parameter.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the asymmetric synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly where the 10-methyl branched chain is a structural motif.
• Fragrance & Flavor Ingredient: Acts as a chiral component in the creation of sophisticated, non-racemic scent and flavor molecules, contributing to unique olfactory profiles.
• Liquid Crystal & Advanced Material Synthesis: Serves as a chiral dopant or building block in the production of liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and other functional organic materials.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed as a key intermediate in the development of enantiomerically pure pesticides and herbicides for enhanced efficacy.
• Chemical Research & Development: Utilized in academic and industrial R&D for studying stereoselective reactions and developing new chiral catalysts.
• Specialty Polymer Modification: Incorporated to impart specific chiral characteristics or side-chain functionalities into specialty polymers.
