Pharmaceutical intermediates
This product is the core epoxy intermediate in the synthesis route of oseltamivir phosphate. Oseltamivir, as a neuraminidase inhibitor, is globally recognized as a first-line drug for the treatment and prevention of influenza A and B.
In the synthesis process of oseltamivir, this compound provides key reaction sites for introducing necessary functional groups for subsequent ring opening reactions through its unique epoxy ring structure. Its high purity and stereochemical purity directly determine the quality and efficacy of the final API (active pharmaceutical ingredient).
Research on Standards and Impurities
In addition to industrial synthesis, this compound can also be used as an impurity standard for oseltamivir drugs for:
Development and validation of analytical methods
Drug Quality Control (QC)
Research on Impurities in Generic Drug (ANDA) Declaration
CATO and other standard suppliers provide high-purity specifications (>95%) of the compound, along with complete structural compliance reports for nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, liquid phase, and gas phase, which can meet the quality traceability requirements under the ISO17034 system.
