Description

Guanidine Hydroiodide is a versatile organic salt widely used as a high-purity reagent in advanced chemical synthesis and pharmaceutical research. Its primary value lies in its role as a potent guanidinylation agent and a source of the guanidine moiety, which is critical for constructing complex molecules. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and fine chemical intermediates.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: A key reagent for introducing the guanidine functional group into target molecules during the production of APIs, including antiviral and cardiovascular drugs.
• Peptide & Protein Research: Used in biochemical studies for protein denaturation and as a component in chaotropic salt solutions for nucleic acid purification.
• Agrochemical Manufacturing: Serves as a building block in the synthesis of certain herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Organic Synthesis Intermediate: Employed in various organic transformations, including the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds like triazines and pyrimidines.
• Photographic Chemicals: Acts as a component in specific photographic developers and sensitizers.
• Material Science: Investigated for use in the preparation of ionic liquids and other advanced materials.

Quality Control

Our Guanidine Hydroiodide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and industrial applications. Key parameters such as assay (purity), identity, and impurity profiles are verified. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and stability.
