Description

Benzoic Acid, 4-[(1R)-1-Aminoethyl]-, Methyl Ester is a chiral, non-racemic organic compound featuring both an amino and an ester functional group on a benzoic acid backbone. This unique structure makes it a valuable chiral building block and intermediate for the synthesis of more complex molecules, particularly in the pharmaceutical sector. It is primarily sought after by research institutions and manufacturers engaged in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), agrochemicals, and advanced materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the research and production of enantiomerically pure drugs, including potential candidates for neurological and cardiovascular therapies.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of novel, optically active pesticides and herbicides with improved efficacy and environmental profiles.
• Ligand and Catalyst Preparation: Serves as a precursor for synthesizing chiral ligands and organocatalysts used in asymmetric synthesis.
• Fine Chemical Production: An intermediate in the manufacture of specialty chemicals, flavors, and fragrances requiring specific stereochemistry.
• Academic and R&D: Employed in university and corporate research laboratories for methodological studies in organic and medicinal chemistry.

Quality Control

Our Benzoic Acid, 4-[(1R)-1-Aminoethyl]-, Methyl Ester is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC, to ensure high chemical and enantiomeric purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, impurity profile, and specific rotation are provided with every shipment to guarantee consistent quality and traceability for your critical applications.

Storage

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