Core Product Properties
1. Fixed S Chiral Skeleton

Single stereochemical configuration stays intact below 120 ℃, no structural inversion during heating or derivatization to guarantee stable optical purity of target products.

2. Dual Reactive Functional Groups

Terminal hydroxyl and chloromethyl groups support esterification, substitution and ring-closing reactions, enabling flexible multi-step molecular derivation.

3. Good Organic Solvent Miscibility

Uniformly dissolved in common polar organic solvents; immiscible with water and aliphatic alkane solvents, matching general lab synthetic process systems.

4. Moderate Thermal Tolerance

Complete molecular framework reserved under routine reaction heating; long-term exposure above 190 ℃ triggers partial molecular decomposition.

5. Consistent Batch Uniformity

Stable refining process unifies optical performance and impurity levels across batches, reducing experimental deviation in synthetic research.

6. Controllable Reaction Activity

Balanced reactivity restrains excessive side reactions, elevating yield of chiral target fragments.

7. Low Moisture Resistance

Long contact with humid air slightly lowers optical purity, requiring full airtight sealing during transport and preservation.

8. Long Shelf Stability

Slow quality attenuation under cool dry sealed storage, retains stable stereochemical features for long-term reserve.

Application Scope
  1. Core C4 chiral building unit for asymmetric organic synthesis
  2. Starting precursor for constructing multi-substituted aliphatic chiral fragments
  3. Raw material for laboratory stereochemistry and biocatalysis exploration
  4. Custom fine chemical intermediate for chiral material development
Storage & Handling Guidance

Store in fully sealed containers inside cool dry shady space. Isolate from high temperature, humid air and strong alkaline substances. Shorten packaging opening duration to minimize moisture contact and protect optical activity.
