Description

cis-2-Vinyl-1,3-Dioxan-5-Ol is a specialized cyclic acetal derivative featuring a vinyl group, which makes it a valuable bifunctional monomer and synthetic intermediate. This compound is significant for its ability to introduce both a polymerizable vinyl group and a protected diol functionality into molecular structures, enabling the synthesis of advanced materials and fine chemicals. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and polymer industries for applications ranging from controlled-release formulations to the development of novel cross-linked resins and specialty coatings.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of prodrugs and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where controlled hydrolysis of the acetal group is required for drug release.
• Polymer & Resin Chemistry: Serves as a cross-linking agent or co-monomer in the production of specialty polymers, coatings, and adhesives, leveraging its vinyl group for polymerization.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Acts as a key building block for creating novel herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators with tailored properties.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in multi-step organic synthesis to construct complex heterocyclic compounds and chiral molecules.
• Material Science Research: Utilized in developing advanced functional materials, including hydrogels and stimuli-responsive polymers for biomedical applications.
• Flavor & Fragrance Chemistry: Can be used as a precursor for synthesizing specific aroma chemicals and flavoring agents.

Quality Control

Our cis-2-Vinyl-1,3-Dioxan-5-Ol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results is provided with every shipment. We can support development projects with custom purity grades, from technical to high-purity research standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is moisture-sensitive (hygroscopic) and should be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage to prevent degradation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
