3-(Bromomethyl)hexanoic acid, (3R)

(3R)-3-(Bromomethyl)hexanoic acid is a crucial chiral building block mainly used as a key intermediate in the pharmaceutical industry for synthesizing the anti-epileptic drug Brivaracetam (Briviact), where its specific (R)-configuration is vital for the final drug’s biological activity, enabling its use in creating complex, stereochemically defined molecules.
