Description

S-2-Butylamine is a chiral amine building block of significant importance in modern synthetic chemistry. Its value lies in its role as a key intermediate for the production of enantiomerically pure pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, where stereochemistry is critical for biological activity. This compound is essential for research and development chemists, process chemists, and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial chiral synthon for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in the development of drugs targeting the central nervous system and cardiovascular diseases.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of chiral herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, where the specific stereoisomer can enhance efficacy and reduce environmental impact.
• Catalyst and Ligand Preparation: Serves as a precursor for the synthesis of chiral catalysts and ligands used in asymmetric synthesis, enabling highly selective chemical transformations.
• Fine Chemical Building Block: Employed in the multistep synthesis of complex natural products, flavors, fragrances, and advanced materials requiring specific stereochemical configurations.
• Research & Development: A valuable standard and reagent in academic and industrial R&D labs for method development and exploring new synthetic pathways in stereoselective chemistry.

Quality Control

Our S-2-Butylamine is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high enantiomeric purity. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as chiral purity (enantiomeric excess), chemical purity, and identity. We support compliance with cGMP, ICH guidelines, and REACH regulations for our global clientele.

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 and highly volatile nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
