Description

(S)-3,7-Dimethyloct-6-Enyl Isovalerate is a high-purity chiral ester, a key intermediate and building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its defined stereochemistry and specific functional groups make it a valuable precursor for the production of complex molecules, particularly in the fragrance and flavor industry where enantiomeric purity is critical. This compound is essential for manufacturers and R&D laboratories seeking to develop or produce high-value, optically active ingredients for perfumery, flavorings, and fine chemicals.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Intermediate: A key chiral building block for synthesizing high-value, optically pure fragrance compounds and flavoring agents, imparting specific olfactory characteristics.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Used as a specialized intermediate in the multi-step synthesis of complex pharmaceutical candidates and other fine chemicals requiring stereochemical control.
• Perfumery Raw Material: Serves as a precursor for creating unique, high-quality perfume ingredients where the (S)-enantiomer provides a distinct and desirable scent profile.
• Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for studying asymmetric synthesis, ester chemistry, and the development of new chiral catalysts or methodologies.
• Specialty Additives: Potential use in the formulation of specialty additives where a specific, non-racemic ester structure is required for functionality.

Quality Control

Our (S)-3,7-Dimethyloct-6-Enyl Isovalerate is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis (HPLC/GC), identity confirmation (IR, NMR), and assay determination to ensure it meets stringent specifications for enantiomeric excess and chemical purity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its oxidizable nature, minimize headspace in opened containers and handle under an inert gas blanket for long-term stability.
