Description

n-(Ethoxycarbonyloxymethyl)-7-Oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-dicarbimide is a specialized bicyclic imide derivative, a high-value synthetic intermediate prized for its unique bridged oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane (norbornane) core. This compound is critical for advanced organic synthesis, particularly in the development of novel pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and performance materials where its rigid, three-dimensional structure imparts specific biological activity or material properties. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the fine chemical, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical industries for constructing complex molecular architectures.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially those targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders, due to its norbornane scaffold.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and production of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides where the oxabicyclic structure enhances stability and bioactivity.
• Polymer & Material Science: Serves as a monomer or cross-linking agent for creating high-performance polymers with enhanced thermal stability and mechanical strength.
• Ligand & Catalyst Development: Utilized in organometallic chemistry to develop novel chiral ligands and catalysts for asymmetric synthesis.
• Fine Chemical Research: A versatile precursor in academic and industrial laboratories for exploring new chemical reactions and synthesizing complex natural product analogs.
• Epoxy Resin Modifier: Can be incorporated to modify the properties of epoxy resin systems, improving adhesion and chemical resistance.

Quality Control

Every batch of n-(Ethoxycarbonyloxymethyl)-7-Oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-dicarbimide is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the product meets the high-purity standards required for research and synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is supplied with each shipment, typically including parameters such as assay (HPLC), identity (IR, NMR), and impurity profile. Specifications can be aligned with cGMP guidelines for pharmaceutical applications upon request.

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 after opening to prevent degradation by atmospheric moisture. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
