Description

2-Ethylcyclobutanone is a specialized organic compound belonging to the class of substituted cyclobutanones, identified by CAS NO 10374-14-8. This chemical serves as a valuable intermediate and building block in advanced organic synthesis, prized for its unique strained ring structure that can impart specific reactivity and properties to final products. It is primarily sought after by research institutions and industrial R&D departments in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fragrance sectors for developing novel active ingredients and fine chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key building block in the synthesis of novel drug candidates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring complex, strained ring systems.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of new pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators where its specific ketone functionality is crucial.
• Fragrance & Flavor Chemistry: Serves as a precursor for creating unique musk-like or other specialty aroma chemicals due to its cyclobutanone backbone.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Employed in academic and industrial laboratories for ring-expansion reactions, cross-coupling, and as a scaffold for synthesizing more complex heterocyclic compounds.
• Material Science Research: Investigated as a monomer or cross-linking agent for developing polymers with specific thermal or mechanical properties.
• Chemical Reference Standard: Supplied as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control and method development in analytical laboratories.

Quality Control

Our 2-Ethylcyclobutanone is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopy (IR, NMR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all critical parameters. Our quality system is designed to meet the stringent requirements of research and development applications across global markets.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. This material is likely moisture-sensitive and should be handled under an inert atmosphere for prolonged storage to maintain stability.
