Description

Benzoic Acid, 5-(Cyanomethyl)-2-Nitro- (9Ci) is a specialized aromatic compound featuring both cyano and nitro functional groups on the benzoic acid core. This unique structure makes it a valuable high-purity chemical intermediate for synthesizing more complex molecules in advanced research and development. It is primarily needed by pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical manufacturers for the development of active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key building block in the synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring a nitrile-substituted aromatic scaffold.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in research and production of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Organic Synthesis & Research: Serves as a versatile precursor for heterocyclic compounds, dyes, and functional polymers in academic and industrial R&D laboratories.
• Material Science: Potential intermediate for creating specialized monomers, ligands for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), or photoactive materials.

Quality Control

Our Benzoic Acid, 5-(Cyanomethyl)-2-Nitro- (9Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be kept in the original packaging or an opaque secondary container until use.
