Description

(R)-3-Methyl-1-Hexanol CAS NO 86423-92-9 is a high-purity chiral alcohol, a single enantiomer of 3-methyl-1-hexanol, valued for its role as a versatile chiral building block and flavor/fragrance intermediate. Its defined stereochemistry is critical for applications requiring precise molecular orientation, such as in asymmetric synthesis and the production of enantiomerically pure compounds. This product is essential for research and development in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries, where it serves as a key precursor for active ingredients and fine chemicals.

Application

• As a chiral intermediate in the asymmetric synthesis of pharmaceutical active ingredients (APIs).
• Utilized in the research and development of novel agrochemicals, including pesticides and herbicides.
• Acts as a key building block for liquid crystals and advanced organic electronic materials.
• Serves as a precursor in the synthesis of chiral ligands and catalysts for stereoselective reactions.
• Used in the flavor and fragrance industry to create specific, high-value organoleptic compounds.
• Employed in academic and industrial R&D for studying structure-activity relationships (SAR).
