(S)-(+)-Ketopinic Acid

Advance your chiral synthesis, pharmaceutical development, and biochemical research with (S)-(+)-Ketopinic acid (CAS No.: 40724-67-2, CAT No.: SRCK-001). This bicyclic compound is a chiral ketone-carboxylic acid featuring a 7,7-dimethyl-2-oxobicyclo[2.2.1]heptane core with a carboxylic acid group at the 1-position. Known for its rigid bicyclic structure and well-defined stereochemistry, it is extensively used as a building block in asymmetric synthesis, enabling the preparation of enantiomerically pure pharmaceuticals and intermediates. The compound is also employed in biochemical pathway studies, chiral ligand formation, and material science applications such as polymer chemistry and functional material design.

Molecular formula: C₁₀H₁₄O₃, Molecular weight: 182.22 g/mol. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder, melting point 237–239 °C, and optical rotation [α]₂₃/D +58° (c = 1 in chloroform). The compound exhibits moderate lipophilicity with XLogP3-AA of 2, and has 1 hydrogen bond donor and 3 acceptors. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place shielded from light. Purity typically ≥99%.
