BRUCINE SULFATE HYDRATE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

white to slightly beige crystals or

Uses

Brucine sulfate hydrate is used as a tool for stereospecific chemical syntheses.

Uses

Brucine sulfate salt hydrate can be used:

• As an electron donor in the synthesis of charge transfer complexes with electron acceptors like DDQ (2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone) and chloranilic acid.
• As a chiral agent or chiral dopant in the preparation of lyotropic cholesteric liquid crystalline phases.

General Description

Brucine sulfate hydrate is a sulfate salt of brucine, a major pharmacological constituent of?Strychnos nux-vomica?seeds, that is known for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. Brucine is also used as a chiral resolving agent for the optical resolution of tertiary acetylenic alcohols into enantiomers.
