Description

(R)-3-Methyl-1-Heptanol CAS NO 99427-18-6 is a chiral, branched-chain primary alcohol of significant interest in fine chemical synthesis. This compound matters as a valuable chiral building block and intermediate for the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty fragrances. Industries that require enantiomerically pure intermediates for asymmetric synthesis, such as the pharmaceutical and flavor & fragrance sectors, are the primary users of this material.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral synthon in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) requiring specific stereochemistry.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of chiral pesticides and herbicides where the (R)-enantiomer imparts specific biological activity.
• Flavor and Fragrance Ingredient: Acts as a precursor for esters and other derivatives used in high-value aroma chemicals.
• Liquid Crystal Materials: Can be utilized in the synthesis of chiral dopants for liquid crystal displays (LCDs).
• Asymmetric Catalyst Ligand Synthesis: Employed in the development of novel chiral ligands for transition metal catalysis.
• Organic Synthesis Research: A valuable reagent in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new stereoselective reactions.
