Overview
(2S,3S)-1,2-epoxy-3-(Boc-amino)-4-Phenylbutane is a chiral epoxy building block synthesized via epoxidation of allylic amines. It serves as a critical intermediate for beta-blocker and amino acid derivatives. Formula: C15H21NO4. CAS: 109876-54-8.
Application
- Pharmaceutical synthesis of chiral beta-adrenergic antagonists.
- Production of non-natural amino acids for peptide drug development.
- Research in asymmetric catalysis and stereoselective reactions.
Precautions
Store under inert atmosphere at -20°C to prevent ring opening. Use with appropriate PPE due to potential irritancy and reactivity of the epoxide moiety. Not approved for direct clinical use; strictly for industrial R&D only.
