Description

(S)-Undecane-2-Ol is a high-purity chiral alcohol with significant utility in advanced organic synthesis. Its defined stereochemistry makes it a valuable building block for creating enantiomerically pure compounds, which are critical in pharmaceuticals and specialty materials. This product is essential for research and development chemists, process engineers, and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fragrance industries who require precise molecular control.

Application

• Chiral Intermediate in Pharmaceutical Synthesis: A key starting material or intermediate for the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) requiring specific stereochemistry.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the development of enantiomerically pure pesticides and herbicides, where biological activity is often stereospecific.
• Advanced Material Science: Serves as a precursor for liquid crystals, chiral dopants, and other functional materials with optical properties.
• Fragrance and Flavor Chemistry: Acts as a building block for synthesizing specific stereoisomers of aroma compounds, where scent perception can vary by enantiomer.
• Asymmetric Catalysis Research: Employed as a standard or ligand precursor in the development and testing of new chiral catalysts.
• Academic and Industrial R&D: A valuable reagent for methodological studies in organic chemistry and process development.

Quality Control

Our (S)-Undecane-2-Ol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC or GC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and enantiomeric excess are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 by atmospheric moisture.
