Description

Cyclopentylamine CAS NO 1003-03-8 is a versatile aliphatic amine featuring a five-membered cyclopentyl ring. This structural motif makes it a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of complex molecules, particularly in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors. It is primarily sought after by research and development chemists, process engineers, and manufacturers in fine chemical production. Its utility stems from its reactivity as a primary amine and the unique steric and electronic properties imparted by the cyclopentane ring.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), including antiviral and central nervous system (CNS) drugs.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Polymer Chemistry: Serves as a monomer or curing agent in the manufacture of specialty polyamides, epoxies, and other polymers.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Formulation: A component in formulations designed to protect metal surfaces in industrial processes.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Employed in laboratories for nucleophilic substitution reactions, reductive amination, and as a precursor to other functionalized cyclopentane derivatives.
• Lubricant Additive: Used in the synthesis of additives that improve the performance of industrial lubricants.

Quality Control

Our Cyclopentylamine is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents and acids. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and concentration changes. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability.
