Description

Ethylcyclopropane CAS NO 1191-96-4 is a highly volatile, low molecular weight hydrocarbon featuring a reactive cyclopropane ring. This unique structure makes it a valuable and versatile chemical intermediate for synthesizing more complex organic compounds. It is primarily sought after by pharmaceutical and agrochemical research and development teams, as well as by manufacturers of specialty chemicals and advanced materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring cyclopropane motifs for biological activity.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and production of novel pesticides and herbicides, where the cyclopropane ring can enhance efficacy.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Employed in laboratories and pilot plants for ring-opening reactions, alkylations, and as a precursor for fine chemicals.
• Material Science Research: Investigated as a monomer or additive in the development of specialized polymers and advanced materials.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Potential use in the synthesis of specific aroma chemicals, subject to purity and regulatory approval.

Quality Control

Every batch of Ethylcyclopropane is produced and analyzed under strict quality management protocols. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles, ensuring traceability and consistency for your critical applications. Our quality systems are designed to support cGMP and ISO standards where required.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed and upright to prevent leakage and pressure build-up. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C (refrigerated) for extended stability, though short-term storage at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) is acceptable.
