Description

2-Propanone, 1-Hydroxy-1-(Methylthio)-, (S)- (9Ci) is a chiral, sulfur-containing organic compound that serves as a valuable synthetic intermediate. Its core value lies in its ability to introduce both a hydroxyl and a methylthio functional group in a stereochemically defined manner, enabling the synthesis of complex molecules. This compound is primarily needed by research institutions and industrial R&D departments in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors for developing new active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral building block for the synthesis of potential drug candidates, particularly in medicinal chemistry research.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of novel pesticides and herbicides where specific stereochemistry is crucial for biological activity.
• Asymmetric Synthesis: Employed as a reagent or precursor in stereoselective chemical reactions to create enantiomerically pure products.
• Flavor & Fragrance Research: Serves as a starting material for synthesizing complex sulfur-containing aroma compounds.
• Organic Chemistry Research: A versatile synthon in academic and industrial laboratories for methodological studies and novel compound library generation.

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. We provide material with typical purities suitable for research and development applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity (by HPLC or GC), chiral purity, and other relevant parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. This material is easily oxidized; ensure containers are properly sealed after each use to minimize exposure to air.
