  • Applications

    Quinine (CAS 130-95-0) is a Cinchona alkaloid with real-world applications across several industries: in pharmaceuticals as an antimalarial agent and as a precursor for cinchona-derived drug synthesis; in food and beverages as a bittering/flavoring agent, notably in tonic water; in chemical synthesis as a chiral auxiliary and an enantioselective organocatalyst used in asymmetric syntheses to achieve high enantioselectivity; and in laboratory analytics and research as a chiral resolving agent and reference material for method development and teaching stereochemistry.
