(S)-2-Amino-5-methoxytetralin (S)-mandelate

It provides the required (S)-enantiomer configuration of 5-methoxy-2-aminotetralin, which is then N-alkylated with 2-(2-thienyl)ethanol and demethylated to produce the final API, enhancing purity and stereoselectivity. (S)-2-Amino-5-methoxytetralin (S)-mandelate is a key chiral intermediate employed to synthesize Rotigotine, a dopamine agonist for Parkinson’s disease.
