Description

(2-Formylphenoxy)Acetonitrile (Saltdata: Free) is a versatile aromatic nitrile derivative that serves as a critical synthetic intermediate in advanced organic chemistry. Its bifunctional structure, featuring both a formyl and a nitrile group on a phenoxy backbone, makes it a valuable building block for constructing complex molecular architectures. This high-purity compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries, where it is used to develop active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for molecules containing benzofuran or benzopyran motifs.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Building block for developing novel herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Used in the preparation of specialized ligands for metal-catalyzed coupling reactions and asymmetric synthesis.
• Material Science Research: Monomer or precursor for synthesizing advanced polymers, liquid crystals, and organic electronic materials.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Intermediate for creating fluorescent tags, photoaffinity labels, and other molecular probes for biochemical research.
• Custom Synthesis: Serves as a starting material for contract research organizations (CROs) and fine chemical companies engaged in custom synthesis projects.

Quality Control

Our (2-Formylphenoxy)Acetonitrile is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, documenting critical parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and residual solvents. Our quality commitment supports applications requiring GMP-grade intermediates and research chemicals.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
