Description

2-Furancarbonyl Chloride, 5-Acetyl- (9Ci) is a versatile and highly reactive acyl chloride derivative of a substituted furan. This compound is a critical building block in organic synthesis, valued for its ability to introduce the 5-acetyl-2-furoyl moiety into target molecules. It is primarily sought after by research chemists and process development teams in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for the synthesis of novel active ingredients and complex intermediates. Its unique structure makes it a key precursor for developing compounds with potential biological activity.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key precursor in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders, anti-infectives, and metabolic diseases.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of new herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, leveraging the furan ring's bioactivity.
• Material Science Research: Acts as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the development of specialty polymers, resins, and functional materials with tailored properties.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Employed in organic and organometallic chemistry to create novel ligands for catalysis or metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Fine Chemical Production: Utilized in the multi-step synthesis of complex fragrance and flavor ingredients or other high-value specialty chemicals.

Quality Control

Our 2-Furancarbonyl Chloride, 5-Acetyl- (9Ci) is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and development applications. We provide comprehensive analytical data, including HPLC purity, identity confirmation (IR, NMR), and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is supplied with each batch, detailing all relevant specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent decomposition. Keep away from strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.
