Overview
(3aS,4S,6aR)-Tetrahydro-4-Methoxyfuro[3,4-b]furan-2(3H)-one is a chiral lactone intermediate synthesized via asymmetric hydrogenation or enzymatic resolution. It serves as a critical building block for complex pharmaceutical synthesis.
Application
- Stereochemical scaffold in antiviral drug manufacturing.
- Precursor for advanced glycosidase inhibitors.
- Key moiety in novel antibiotic development pipelines.
Precautions
Store under inert atmosphere at 2-8°C to prevent hydrolysis. Use appropriate PPE during handling due to potential irritant properties. Not approved for direct clinical use; strictly for industrial R&D and API production.
