Description

2-Furanacetyl Chloride, α-Oxo- (9Ci) is a highly reactive acid chloride derivative of furan, serving as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its core value lies in enabling the efficient introduction of the reactive α-oxo-furanacetyl moiety, facilitating the construction of complex heterocyclic and pharmaceutical intermediates. This compound is essential for R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries seeking to develop novel active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those containing furan-based heterocycles for antiviral, antibacterial, or anticancer activity.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced pesticides and herbicides, where the furan ring contributes to biological activity and selectivity.
• Specialty Polymer Monomer: Acts as a functional monomer for creating polymers with specific thermal, optical, or electronic properties.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Serves as a starting material for synthesizing complex chelating ligands used in homogeneous catalysis.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the multistep synthesis of flavors, fragrances, and other high-value fine chemicals.
• Academic and Industrial R&D: A valuable reagent for methodological development and exploring new chemical spaces in research laboratories.

Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Furanacetyl Chloride, α-Oxo- (9Ci) is manufactured and tested under strict quality management systems. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including advanced chromatographic and spectroscopic methods, to ensure compliance with industry standards and customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its properties as a strong acid/organic solvent, hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive), and highly volatile nature, it must be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) and separated from incompatible materials such as bases, amines, and alcohols.
