(S)-(+)-1-(1-Naphthyl)ethyl isocyanate

(S)-(+)-1-(1-Naphthyl)ethyl isocyanate(CAT: L002284) is a chiral aromatic isocyanate widely used as a chiral derivatizing agent in stereochemical analysis, particularly for determining enantiomeric excess and absolute configuration of amines and alcohols via NMR or chromatographic methods. Featuring a 1-naphthyl group and a stereogenic center, this compound enables the formation of diastereomeric derivatives that are easily separable and quantifiable. It is also valuable in the synthesis of optically active ureas, carbamates, and peptidomimetics. The (S)-configuration provides defined stereochemical control, making it a useful tool in asymmetric synthesis, pharmaceutical research, and chiral reagent development.
