Description

2-Chloro-1-(2,3,4-Trihydroxyphenyl)Ethan-1-One is a specialized organic intermediate featuring a chlorinated acetyl group attached to a trihydroxylated benzene ring. This unique structure makes it a valuable synthon for the production of complex molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and fine chemical research. It is primarily sought after by R&D chemists and process development scientists working on novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), agrochemicals, and high-value specialty chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key building block in the synthesis of complex drug molecules, particularly those with polyphenolic or catechol-like structures.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the development of new herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators due to its reactive chloroacetyl moiety.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for dyes, pigments, and advanced organic materials requiring specific hydroxylation patterns.
• Biochemical Research: Potential use as a substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic studies related to polyphenol metabolism.
• Chemical Reference Standard: Supplied as a high-purity standard for analytical method development and quality control in related manufacturing processes.

Quality Control

Our 2-Chloro-1-(2,3,4-Trihydroxyphenyl)Ethan-1-One is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR). We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all critical quality attributes to ensure it meets your research and development specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry place at 15-25°C. Due to its sensitivity to light and oxidation, prolonged exposure to air and ambient light should be avoided. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use.
