Description

2-(3-Cyano-Phenyl)Ethanol is a versatile aromatic alcohol building block featuring both a hydroxyl and a cyano functional group on the phenyl ring. This bifunctional nature makes it a critical intermediate for synthesizing a wide range of high-value fine chemicals and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It is essential for research and production in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors, where precise molecular architecture is required.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of various drug molecules, particularly those targeting the central nervous system (CNS) and as anti-inflammatory agents.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Serves as a building block for creating specialized organic compounds used in electronic displays and lighting.
• Polymer & Resin Modifier: Incorporated to enhance specific properties like adhesion, flexibility, or chemical resistance in specialty polymers.
• Dye & Pigment Manufacturing: Intermediate for producing complex organic colorants and photographic chemicals.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Used in the synthesis of certain aromatic compounds for high-end fragrance applications.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A valuable reagent for medicinal chemistry research and process development in fine chemical synthesis.

Quality Control

Our 2-(3-Cyano-Phenyl)Ethanol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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 after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product quality.
