(1R,2R)-trans-1,2-Cyclopentanediol(CAT: R045029) is a chiral cyclic diol featuring hydroxyl groups in a trans-1,2-orientation on a five-membered cyclopentane ring. With its well-defined stereochemistry, this compound is widely used as a chiral building block and auxiliary in asymmetric synthesis. It serves as a precursor in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals, offering stereochemical control in multi-step synthetic pathways. The rigidity of the cyclopentane ring and the spatial arrangement of the hydroxyl groups make it valuable in catalyst development, ligand design, and stereoselective functionalizations. Its enantiopure form supports applications in both academic research and industrial process development.
