Description

2-Furancarboxaldehyde, 5-(Dimethylsilyl)- (9Ci) is a specialized organosilicon derivative of furfural, a key heterocyclic building block. This compound matters for its unique silicon-containing functional group, which imparts distinct reactivity and properties valuable in advanced material synthesis and pharmaceutical research. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the fine chemical, agrochemical, and material science industries for developing novel silicon-based polymers, ligands, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• Advanced Material Synthesis: Serves as a key monomer or precursor in the development of silicon-containing polymers, resins, and specialty coatings with tailored thermal and mechanical properties.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the research and synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly where the silyl group is utilized for protection/deprotection strategies or to modulate bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Development: Acts as a building block for creating new generation pesticides and herbicides with enhanced efficacy and environmental profiles.
• Organometallic Chemistry & Catalysis: Employed in the preparation of novel silyl-substituted ligands for transition metal catalysts used in asymmetric synthesis and cross-coupling reactions.
• Electronic Chemicals: Investigated as a precursor for silicon-based thin films or as a component in specialty formulations for the electronics industry.
• Flavor & Fragrance Research: The furan core structure makes it a candidate for synthesizing novel aroma chemicals and flavoring agents.

Quality Control

Our 2-Furancarboxaldehyde, 5-(Dimethylsilyl)- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay (by GC/HPLC), identity (by IR/NMR), and impurity profiles are available upon request. We support development and pilot-scale projects with a commitment to reliable supply and traceable documentation.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at 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 incompatible materials.
