Description

(S)-(+)-2-Nonyl Isothiocyanate is a high-purity, chiral organic compound belonging to the class of isothiocyanates, characterized by its specific stereochemistry at the second carbon of the nonyl chain. This enantiomerically enriched compound is a critical building block and chiral intermediate for advanced organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty materials. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the fine chemical, life science, and material science industries who require precise stereochemical control in their synthetic pathways.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug candidates, particularly those targeting neurological and metabolic pathways.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the development of novel, enantiomerically pure pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators with improved efficacy and environmental profiles.
• Ligand and Catalyst Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for creating chiral ligands and organocatalysts used in asymmetric synthesis to induce high enantioselectivity.
• Flavor and Fragrance Chemistry: An intermediate for synthesizing complex, high-value aroma compounds where the specific stereoisomer influences the sensory profile.
• Material Science: Employed in the synthesis of functionalized polymers and liquid crystals where the chiral center imparts specific optical or self-assembly properties.
• Bioconjugation and Probe Development: The reactive isothiocyanate group is utilized for labeling biomolecules (proteins, peptides) in biochemical research and diagnostic applications.

Quality Control

Our (S)-(+)-2-Nonyl Isothiocyanate is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high enantiomeric purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral HPLC for enantiomeric excess (ee) determination, NMR, and GC-MS for identity and purity verification. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
