Description

Specification:

Index	Standard
Description	Colorless Liquid
Purity (GC.)	≥ 99.0%

 

Properties:It is a colorless, biodegradable liquid with a mild, pleasant odor. It is a chiral compound, specifically the (R)-enantiomer. It is miscible with water and most common organic solvents such as alcohols, ketones, and ethers.

Application:

Widely used as a versatile chiral building block in asymmetric synthesis. Its applications are critical in the production of:

Pharmaceuticals: Serves as a key starting material for synthesizing various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially those requiring high enantiomeric purity.

Agrochemicals: Used in the manufacture of chiral herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides.

Fine Chemicals: An important intermediate for flavors, fragrances, and specialty materials.

Package and Storage:

Typically packaged in 25 kg/drum, 200 kg/drum, or ISO tanks upon request.

Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Protect from moisture and sources of ignition.
