Description

(S)-1-(2-Naphthyl)Propanol CAS NO 87241-23-4 is a high-purity chiral alcohol derivative of 2-naphthalene, serving as a critical chiral building block and resolving agent in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in its ability to impart stereochemical control, enabling the production of enantiomerically pure compounds essential for modern pharmaceuticals and specialty chemicals. This product is primarily needed by research and development laboratories, pharmaceutical intermediates manufacturers, and fine chemical producers focused on asymmetric synthesis and chiral technology.

Application

• Chiral Auxiliary/Resolving Agent: Used in the separation of racemic mixtures and as a chiral controller in asymmetric synthesis.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) requiring specific stereochemistry, particularly in neurological and cardiovascular drug candidates.
• Ligand Synthesis: Serves as a starting material for the preparation of chiral ligands used in transition metal catalysis (e.g., for asymmetric hydrogenation).
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the manufacture of specialty chemicals, flavors, and fragrances where enantiopurity is critical.
• Academic & Industrial Research: A valuable tool for methodological development in organic chemistry and process chemistry R&D.

Quality Control

Our (S)-1-(2-Naphthyl)Propanol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles are provided and available upon request.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
