Product Name – (S)-(+)-2-AMINO-1-BUTANOL 98% Extra Pure Quantity/Pack Size – 1 g, 5 g Form – Solid (Powder/Crystals) Grade – Extra Pure (98%) Application – Chiral building block, asymmetric synthesis, pharmaceutical intermediates

Product Overview

(S)-(+)-2-Amino-1-Butanol is a high-purity chiral amino alcohol widely used as a key intermediate in asymmetric synthesis. With a minimum assay of 98%, this extra-pure grade ensures reliable results in enantioselective reactions, making it a preferred choice for researchers and chemists. The compound’s stereochemical purity and functional groups—an amino and hydroxyl moiety—enable its use in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals. Its solid form (typically powder or crystals) allows for easy handling and precise weighing in laboratory settings. The (S)-(+)-enantiomer is particularly valued for its role in producing optically active compounds, where stereochemistry is critical. Compatible with standard organic solvents, this reagent maintains stability under recommended storage conditions, ensuring long-term usability without degradation. Whether employed in multi-step organic synthesis or as a resolving agent, its consistent quality supports reproducible experimental outcomes.

FAQs

1. What is the enantiomeric excess (ee) of this (S)-(+)-2-Amino-1-Butanol?

The product is supplied with a minimum enantiomeric excess of 98%, ensuring high optical purity for chiral applications.

2. Can this compound be used directly in peptide synthesis?

While primarily used as a chiral building block, it can be derivatized (e.g., via protection/deprotection) for peptide synthesis applications.

3. What solvents are recommended for dissolving this amino alcohol?

It is soluble in common organic solvents like methanol, ethanol, dichloromethane, and DMSO, depending on the reaction requirements.

4. How should this product be stored to maintain stability?

Store in a tightly sealed container under inert gas (if possible) at room temperature, protected from moisture and light.

5. Is this the same as racemic 2-amino-1-butanol?

No, this is the optically pure (S)-(+)-enantiomer, whereas racemic mixtures contain both (R) and (S) forms in equal proportions.
