Description

(S)-(-)-2-Amino-1,1-Diphenyl-1-Propanol is a chiral amino alcohol building block of significant importance in asymmetric synthesis. Its value lies in its utility as a versatile ligand and catalyst precursor for enantioselective transformations, enabling the production of high-value, single-enantiomer compounds. This product is essential for research and development chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries who require high-purity chiral auxiliaries to develop new active ingredients and advanced materials.

Application

• As a chiral ligand or catalyst in asymmetric hydrogenation and transfer hydrogenation reactions.
• As a resolving agent for the separation of racemic mixtures of carboxylic acids and other chiral compounds.
• As a key synthetic intermediate in the preparation of pharmaceutical active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those targeting neurological and cardiovascular diseases.
• In the synthesis of chiral auxiliaries and organocatalysts for use in academic and industrial research.
• For the development of novel agrochemicals where chirality impacts biological activity and environmental safety.
• As a building block in material science for creating chiral polymers or sensors.

Quality Control

Our (S)-(-)-2-Amino-1,1-Diphenyl-1-Propanol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided to guarantee consistent quality, enantiomeric excess, and batch-to-batch reproducibility for your critical processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent exposure to atmospheric moisture, which can affect purity and performance.
