Description

1-(2-Furyl)Ethylene Glycol is a versatile furan-based organic compound that serves as a valuable chiral building block and synthetic intermediate. Its unique structure, featuring both a furan ring and a vicinal diol, makes it crucial for the synthesis of complex molecules in pharmaceutical and fine chemical research. This compound is particularly sought after by R&D chemists and process development scientists working in asymmetric synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and the production of specialty chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key chiral precursor for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially those requiring furan-containing scaffolds.
• Asymmetric Synthesis: Used as a chiral ligand or auxiliary in catalytic asymmetric reactions to induce stereoselectivity.
• Fine Chemical Production: Building block for manufacturing agrochemicals, flavors, fragrances, and other high-value specialty chemicals.
• Material Science Research: Monomer or precursor for developing novel polymers and functional materials with specific properties.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Essential reagent for methodological development and exploratory synthesis in organic chemistry laboratories.

Quality Control

Our 1-(2-Furyl)Ethylene Glycol is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and identity confirmation. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, water content, and related substances is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation.
