Description

(S)-(+)-2-Heptyl Isothiocyanate is a high-purity, chiral organic compound belonging to the isothiocyanate class, characterized by its specific (S)-(+) enantiomeric configuration. This stereochemical purity is critical for applications in advanced research and development, particularly where biological activity or reaction pathways are enantioselective. It serves as a valuable chiral building block and intermediate for pharmaceutical chemists, agrochemical researchers, and specialists in asymmetric synthesis who require materials with defined stereochemistry to develop novel active ingredients and fine chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the research and development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially in therapeutic areas where stereochemistry impacts drug efficacy and safety.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the synthesis of advanced, enantiomerically pure pesticides and herbicides, where the specific isomer can lead to improved activity and reduced environmental impact.
• Asymmetric Synthesis: Employed as a reagent or building block in catalytic asymmetric reactions to construct complex molecules with high enantiomeric excess.
• Flavor & Fragrance Chemistry: Acts as a precursor for synthesizing specific sulfur-containing aroma compounds, contributing to complex flavor profiles.
• Material Science Research: Investigated for the development of specialized polymers or functional materials where the isothiocyanate group enables surface modification or cross-linking.
• Bioconjugation & Probe Development: Utilized in biochemical research for labeling proteins or other biomolecules due to the reactivity of the isothiocyanate group with amines.

Quality Control

Our (S)-(+)-2-Heptyl Isothiocyanate is manufactured 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 research and development. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, enantiomeric excess, and identity is provided with every 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 room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
