Description

(S)-Bis(Lactato-O1,O2)Iron is a chiral iron(III) complex where the metal center is coordinated by two lactate anions. This compound is valued for its role as a bioavailable and environmentally benign source of iron, offering advantages in applications where solubility and controlled reactivity are critical. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical synthesis sectors for use as a catalyst or a functional iron supplement.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of chiral active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) requiring iron-mediated transformations.
• Nutritional Supplementation: Serves as a source of bioavailable iron in specialized liquid or encapsulated nutraceutical formulations.
• Homogeneous Catalysis: Acts as a catalyst or catalyst precursor in organic synthesis, including oxidation and coupling reactions.
• Biomimetic Research: Employed in biochemical studies to model iron-containing enzymes and study metal-ligand interactions.
• Material Science: Used in the development of functional materials, such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) or magnetic nanoparticles.
• Agricultural Chemistry: Investigated for use in micronutrient fertilizers designed for foliar application or hydroponic systems.

Quality Control

Our production of (S)-Bis(Lactato-O1,O2)Iron adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch is characterized and tested to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided, detailing results for key parameters such as assay, chiral purity, and heavy metal content. We support compliance with cGMP, ISO 9001, and REACH requirements for our global clientele.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under a dry atmosphere to prevent degradation. For long-term stability, storage under an inert gas (argon or nitrogen) is recommended due to its oxidizable nature.
