Description

L-Camphor-10-Sulphonic Acid is a specialized chiral sulfonic acid derivative of camphor, serving as a valuable building block and resolving agent in asymmetric synthesis. Its strong acidic nature and well-defined stereochemistry make it crucial for creating enantiomerically pure intermediates in pharmaceutical development. This compound is primarily needed by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical sectors for process development and high-purity synthesis.

Application

• As a chiral resolving agent for the separation of racemic mixtures of amines and other basic compounds.
• As a catalyst or co-catalyst in asymmetric organic synthesis and enantioselective transformations.
• In the preparation of high-value pharmaceutical intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• As a precursor for the synthesis of other camphorsulfonate salts used in various chemical processes.
• In analytical chemistry as a chiral selector or standard for method development.
• For research and development in academic and industrial laboratories focusing on stereochemistry.

Quality Control

Our L-Camphor-10-Sulphonic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity and chemical assay, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, optical rotation, and related substances is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong bases and incompatible materials.
