Description

3-Furancarbonyl Chloride, 2,4-Dimethyl- (9Ci) is a highly reactive acyl chloride derivative of a dimethyl-substituted furan, serving as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its core value lies in enabling the efficient introduction of the 2,4-dimethylfuroyl moiety into target molecules, facilitating the creation of complex chemical architectures. This compound is essential for researchers and process chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries who require high-purity intermediates for developing new active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key starting material or building block for the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those incorporating heterocyclic frameworks.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides where the furan ring contributes to biological activity.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the development of polymers, ligands for catalysis, and other functional organic materials.
• Chemical Derivatization: Acts as an acylating agent for amines, alcohols, and other nucleophiles in laboratory-scale and process chemistry.
• Fine Chemical Production: Intermediate in the manufacture of dyes, flavors, and fragrances requiring specific furan-based structures.

Quality Control

Our 3-Furancarbonyl Chloride, 2,4-Dimethyl- (9Ci) is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC/GC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, this strong acid/organic solvent should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, ideally at 2-8°C under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
