Product Description:

(R)-(-)-2-Butylamine is a chiral primary amine with the molecular formula C4H11N. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid and serves as a fundamental chiral building block in organic synthesis. Its structure features a butyl chain and an amino group, with the stereocenter at the carbon adjacent to the amine. This compound is primarily utilized as a chiral auxiliary or resolving agent in asymmetric synthesis. It is a key precursor for the preparation of various chiral ligands, catalysts, and pharmaceutical intermediates. For instance, it can be used to synthesize chiral oxazolidinones, which are valuable auxiliaries in enantioselective aldol and alkylation reactions. Its application extends to the synthesis of compounds with potential biological activity. Handling requires standard precautions for amines, including use in a well-ventilated area and avoidance of contact with skin and eyes. It is typically stored under an inert atmosphere to prevent degradation.
