TCI (S)-(+)-1-Cyclohexylethylamine (CAS 17430-98-7) is an enantiomerically defined chiral primary amine bearing a bulky cyclohexyl group. It is commonly used as a resolving agent for racemic carboxylic acids via diastereomeric salt formation, and as a removable chiral auxiliary in asymmetric synthesis. The compound also serves as a starting material for chiral ligands and as a derivatising reagent in enantiomeric purity analysis. AMI Scientific supplies 5 g and 25 g packs; keep tightly sealed away from air and moisture, and consult the manufacturer's Safety Data Sheet and Certificate of Analysis.
