Description

Iodocyclopentane CAS NO 1556-18-9 is a versatile halogenated cyclic alkane, serving as a crucial building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its high reactivity, particularly in substitution and coupling reactions, makes it an indispensable reagent for constructing complex molecular architectures. This compound is primarily sought after by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for developing active ingredients and novel materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially for compounds containing cyclopentyl or iodinated motifs.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and other crop protection agents where the cyclopentane ring structure is required.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Employed in cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Negishi, Suzuki) and nucleophilic substitution reactions to introduce the cyclopentyl group.
• Material Science Research: Serves as a monomer or functionalization agent in the development of advanced polymers and liquid crystals.
• Chemical Research & Development: A valuable tool in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies and novel compound library generation.

Quality Control

Our Iodocyclopentane is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Due to its light-sensitive and highly volatile nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C for long-term stability.
