Cinchonidine

Cinchonidine (CAS 485-71-2) is a cinchona alkaloid isolated from the bark of Cinchona species, structurally similar to quinine but with opposite configuration at C8 and C9. It is supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder with ≥98% purity by HPLC, and is widely used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric synthesis and as a pharmaceutical intermediate.

This product is ideal for R&D and commercial-scale applications requiring a reliable source of natural cinchona alkaloid. Each batch is tested for assay, specific rotation, and residual solvents, ensuring consistent quality for demanding syntheses.

Synonyms: (8α,9R)-Cinchonan-9-ol, Cinchonidine base, (R)-(6-Methoxy-4-quinolyl)-5-vinylquinuclidine-2-methanol, 9-epi-Cinchonine

Applications

• Chiral ligand in asymmetric hydrogenation and dihydroxylation reactions
• Building block for the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates and quinine derivatives
• Reference standard in analytical chemistry and pharmacopoeial testing
• Research tool in studying stereoselective catalysis
