Description

Bicyclo[2.2.1]Hept-5-Ene-2-Carboxaldehyde, 2-Methyl-3-Phenyl-, (1S,2R,3R,4R)- (9Ci) is a high-purity, stereochemically defined chiral building block of significant interest in advanced organic synthesis. Its rigid bicyclic framework and strategically positioned aldehyde and phenyl groups make it a valuable precursor for constructing complex, three-dimensional molecular architectures. This compound is primarily sought after by research and development teams in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for applications in asymmetric catalysis, medicinal chemistry, and the synthesis of novel active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral synthon in the research and development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for central nervous system (CNS) and anti-inflammatory targets.
• Asymmetric Catalyst Ligand Precursor: Used to synthesize novel chiral ligands for transition metal catalysis, enabling highly enantioselective transformations.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed in the development of advanced, stereospecific pesticides and herbicides where the specific spatial orientation of the molecule is critical for bioactivity.
• Material Science Research: Acts as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the development of specialty polymers with unique optical or mechanical properties.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A versatile tool for methodological studies in organic chemistry, including Diels-Alder reactions and other cycloadditions.
• Flavor & Fragrance Chemistry: Potential use in the synthesis of complex, naturally-derived odorants and flavor compounds due to its intricate carbon skeleton.
