Amino alcohol used to prepare a chiral imine or oxazolidine from ethyl trifluoropyruvate. These intermediates were then employed in a synthesis of both enantiomers of α-trifluoromethylproline. Chiral β-amino alcohol used as a synthetic building block.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
