CAS 5709-98-8 | (R)-(+)-3-CYCLOHEXENECARBOXYLIC ACID

Pharmaceutical Discovery & Lead Synthesis

• Acts as an enantiopure scaffold for constructing alicyclic drug candidates and enzyme inhibitor structures.
• Introduces defined 3D stereochemistry to small molecules, facilitating optimization of target binding affinity.
• Provides a reactive carboxylate site for amide couplings, esterifications, and peptidomimetic designs.

Asymmetric Synthesis & Catalysis

• Utilized in organic synthesis to introduce chiral cyclohexyl derivatives without requiring resolution steps.
• Functions as a precursor for chiral ligands, auxiliaries, and organocatalysts used in asymmetric transformations.
• Enables stereoselective ring-opening, epoxidation, and dihydroxylation reactions across the double bond.

Advanced Materials & Fine Chemicals

• Serves as a chiral monomer for bio-based or optoelectronic functional polymers with controlled spatial configuration.
• Used in photo-curable resins, liquid crystal intermediates, and performance polymer additives.
• Enables cross-linking and polymerization studies via olefin metathesis and radical reactions.

Handling & Lab Applications

Suitable for early-stage medicinal chemistry pipelines, academic synthetic research, and custom CRO synthesis. Store in a cool, well-ventilated location sealed tightly under inert atmosphere to protect double-bond integrity and prevent moisture uptake.
