Description

Cyclopentanamine, 2-(1-Methylethyl)-, (1S,2S)- (9Ci) is a high-purity, stereochemically defined chiral amine building block of significant interest in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in its rigid cyclopentane backbone and isopropyl substituent, which provide unique steric and electronic properties for constructing complex molecular architectures. This compound is essential for researchers and process chemists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, where it serves as a key intermediate for developing novel active ingredients, particularly in asymmetric synthesis and medicinal chemistry programs.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A critical chiral synthon for the research and development of new drug candidates, including potential antiviral, anticancer, and central nervous system (CNS) agents.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the creation of advanced, stereoselective pesticides and herbicides where specific spatial orientation is crucial for biological activity.
• Asymmetric Catalysis: Employed as a precursor or ligand component in the development of chiral catalysts for enantioselective transformations.
• Fine Chemical Production: Serves as a specialized building block for synthesizing complex flavors, fragrances, and other high-value specialty chemicals.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A valuable tool for methodological studies in organic chemistry, particularly in exploring new C-N bond formation strategies and ring systems.
• Material Science: Potential monomer or functionalization agent for creating polymers with specific chiral or structural properties.

Quality Control

Every batch of Cyclopentanamine, 2-(1-Methylethyl)-, (1S,2S)- (9Ci) is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure compliance with high-purity standards suitable for research and industrial synthesis. Comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity (enantiomeric excess) and chemical purity assays, is performed. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and specific test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

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 under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
