Description

2-Furoyl Chloride, 5-[(Ethylthio)Methyl]- (6Ci) is a specialized furan-based acid chloride derivative, serving as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its core value lies in its dual functional groups—the reactive acyl chloride and the thioether moiety—which enable precise molecular construction for complex target molecules. This high-purity intermediate is essential for research chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, particularly for creating novel active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, especially those targeting specific enzyme inhibitors or receptor modulators.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of next-generation herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides with enhanced efficacy and selectivity.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Serves as a starting material for creating specialized ligands used in asymmetric catalysis and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Functional Material Research: Building block for polymers and advanced materials with tailored electronic or photophysical properties.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Utilized in the design and synthesis of activity-based probes for studying biological pathways and protein functions.
• Custom Synthesis and Contract Manufacturing: A high-value intermediate for custom synthesis houses serving the life sciences sector.

Quality Control

Our 2-Furoyl Chloride, 5-[(Ethylthio)Methyl]- (6Ci) is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical characterization using techniques including NMR (¹H, ¹³C), HPLC, and GC to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided for every shipment, supporting your regulatory and R&D documentation needs.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong bases, alcohols, and amines.
