Description

Bicyclo[2.2.1]Hept-5-Ene-2-Methanol, 2-Methyl-3-Phenyl-, (1R,2S,3S,4S)-Rel- (9Ci) is a high-purity, stereochemically defined chiral building block of significant interest in advanced organic synthesis. This compound matters for its rigid, functionalized norbornene core, which is instrumental in constructing complex molecular architectures with precise three-dimensional control. It is primarily needed by research chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for applications such as asymmetric catalysis and the synthesis of novel active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the research and development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring rigid, sterically defined frameworks.
• Ligand Precursor in Asymmetric Catalysis: Serves as a starting material for the synthesis of sophisticated chiral ligands used in enantioselective hydrogenation and cross-coupling reactions.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed in the development of new generation herbicides and pesticides where specific stereochemistry is crucial for biological activity.
• Material Science Research: Used as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the development of specialty polymers with unique thermal or mechanical properties.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A valuable tool for methodological studies in organic chemistry, enabling the exploration of new cycloaddition and functionalization reactions.
