(+)-Nortrachelogenin(CAS: 61521-74-2)

The physical form of (+)-Nortrachelogenin is a white crystalline powder. It has a molecular weight of 362.35 g/mol. This compound is moderately soluble in ethanol and acetone but insoluble in water. Chemically, it is stable at room temperature but can be reactive with strong acids or bases. It does not typically undergo spontaneous decomposition under normal laboratory conditions.

(+)-Nortrachelogenin can be synthesized through a series of stereo-selective reactions, including a key dihydroisocoumarin rearrangement. The synthesis typically involves the use of catalytic amounts of metal complexes and organic solvents. The overall yield is around 70%, with good selectivity for the desired enantiomer.

(+)-Nortrachelogenin is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry for its potential as a natural product lead for drug development. It is also of interest in the chemical and polymer industry for its structural properties, though its specific applications in these areas are limited. It may also find use in sensor technology due to its unique chemical characteristics.

When handling (+)-Nortrachelogenin, appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles should be worn. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from strong acids and bases. In case of a spill, it should be carefully cleaned up using appropriate absorbent materials. Always consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling instructions and emergency procedures.
