Description

2-Chloro-N-(2-thien-2-ylethyl)acetamide is a specialized organic building block featuring a chloroacetamide moiety linked to a thiophene ring via an ethylene spacer. This compound matters as a versatile intermediate for synthesizing more complex molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical research and agrochemical development. It is needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the fine chemical, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical industries for constructing novel active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key synthon for the research and development of new drug candidates, particularly those targeting neurological or anti-infective pathways.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the preparation of novel herbicides, fungicides, or insecticides that incorporate the thiophene heterocycle.
• Chemical Biology Probe Development: Serves as a precursor for creating activity-based probes to study enzyme function and mechanism.
• Material Science Research: Potential building block for organic electronic materials or polymers where the thiophene unit contributes to charge transport properties.
• Custom Synthesis & Contract Manufacturing: Supplied to CDMOs (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations) for client-specific synthesis projects.
• Academic & Institutional Research: Used in university and government labs for fundamental studies in organic chemistry and heterocyclic compound synthesis.

Quality Control

Our 2-Chloro-N-(2-thien-2-ylethyl)acetamide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) that detail specifications and results for parameters including assay, related substances, and residual solvents. Our quality commitment supports compliance with cGMP and ISO standards for research and development applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
