Overview
(2R,3S)-3-[N-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)amino]-1,2-epoxy-4-phenylbutane is a chiral epoxide building block widely used in asymmetric synthesis. Its core process involves the enantioselective epoxidation of amino acid derivatives. Molecular Formula: C15H21NO4. CAS No.: 190687-53-9.
Application
- Pharmaceutical intermediates for beta-blocker synthesis.
- Chiral pool strategy in complex natural product construction.
- Polymer chemistry for functionalized resin development.
Precautions
Store under inert atmosphere at 2-8°C to prevent ring opening. Use appropriate PPE as it may cause skin irritation. Not approved for direct clinical use; strictly for industrial R&D and manufacturing.
