Description

1-Methylene-4β-tert-Butylcyclohexane CAS NO 13294-73-0 is a specialized, highly volatile cyclohexane derivative featuring a reactive methylene group and a bulky tert-butyl substituent. This unique structure makes it a valuable, high-purity intermediate for advanced organic synthesis and materials science. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries for constructing complex molecular architectures.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for sterically hindered compounds.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and production of advanced herbicides and pesticides, where the tert-butyl group can enhance biological activity and stability.
• Specialty Polymer Monomer: Acts as a monomer or co-monomer for developing polymers with tailored thermal and mechanical properties, such as high-performance resins and coatings.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Employed in Diels-Alder reactions, hydrogenation studies, and other cycloaddition processes to create complex, multi-cyclic organic molecules.
• Fragrance & Flavor Chemistry: Utilized as a precursor for synthesizing specific musky or woody aroma chemicals due to its bicyclic framework.
• Material Science Research: Investigated for use in liquid crystal compounds, organic semiconductors, and other advanced functional materials.

Quality Control

Our 1-Methylene-4β-tert-Butylcyclohexane is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure high chemical purity and identity confirmation. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all specified parameters to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated area at 15-25°C. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. For long-term storage, consider using sealed containers under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen to prevent potential degradation.
