Quality Control

Our 2-Furanacetyl Chloride, 5-Ethoxy-α-Oxo- (9Ci) is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC/GC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request, providing full traceability and compliance with your internal quality standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature and reactivity as a strong acid/organic solvent derivative, store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Keep away from moisture, heat, and incompatible materials such as bases, alcohols, and amines.
