Quality Control

Our Benzoyl Chloride, 4-(1-Cyanoethyl)- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements of advanced synthetic applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and reacts with strong acids/organic solvents; keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage to prevent hydrolysis and maintain purity. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
