Description

(S)-3-Phenyl-Pent-4-Enoic Acid Amide is a chiral, non-racemic organic compound featuring a phenyl group and an unsaturated amide side chain. This specific stereochemistry makes it a valuable chiral building block and intermediate for the synthesis of more complex, biologically active molecules. It is primarily sought after by research and development teams in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for applications in asymmetric synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and the development of novel active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the research and development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in areas requiring specific stereochemical control.
• Asymmetric Synthesis: Used as a starting material or reagent in catalytic asymmetric reactions to construct complex molecular architectures with high enantiomeric purity.
• Medicinal Chemistry Research: Serves as a core scaffold or precursor for creating compound libraries in drug discovery programs targeting various disease pathways.
• Agrochemical Development: Employed in the synthesis of novel chiral pesticides, herbicides, or plant growth regulators where the (S)-enantiomer exhibits the desired biological activity.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: A versatile intermediate for producing specialty chemicals, flavors, fragrances, and advanced materials that require enantiomerically pure components.

Quality Control

Our (S)-3-Phenyl-Pent-4-Enoic Acid Amide is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis (HPLC), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, enantiomeric excess, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

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). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric humidity. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
