ATS-8, chemically known as tert-butyl 2-[(4R,6R)-6-(cyanomethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-4-yl]acetate, is a crucial intermediate in the synthesis of Atorvastatin Calcium, a widely prescribed statin for lowering cholesterol levels. Its unique structure facilitates the construction of the heptanoic acid side chain essential for Atorvastatin's activity.

Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of Atorvastatin Calcium, a widely prescribed statin medication for cholesterol reduction.
Functions as a crucial precursor in the development of (APIs) for lipid-lowering drugs.
Supports the production of cardiovascular drugs by enabling the construction of statin-related molecular frameworks.
Utilized in laboratory-scale and industrial R&D for developing next-generation cholesterol-lowering agents.
Store at room temperature (typically 15–30°C or 59–86°F).
Keep in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
Store in original, tightly sealed containers to prevent contamination, degradation, and moisture absorption.
Available in 1 kg, 5 kg, 10 kg, and 25 kg containers. Custom packaging options can be provided upon request.
