Description

2-(2-Nitrophenoxy)Butanoyl Chloride is a specialized organic intermediate featuring a reactive acid chloride group and a nitrophenoxy moiety. This compound is valued for its role as a key building block in the synthesis of more complex molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. It is primarily sought after by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the fine chemical and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturing sectors.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial precursor in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those requiring the incorporation of a phenoxybutanamide or related structural motifs.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides where its specific structure can contribute to biological activity.
• Peptide Mimetics & Linker Chemistry: The reactive acyl chloride group enables efficient coupling reactions for constructing peptide-like chains or attaching functional groups via amide bond formation.
• Material Science Research: Serves as a monomer or functionalization agent in the development of specialty polymers and advanced organic materials.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Utilized to create tagged or modified molecules for studying biological pathways and protein interactions.

Quality Control

Our 2-(2-Nitrophenoxy)Butanoyl Chloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are 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, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening. Keep away from strong bases, oxidizing agents, and sources of ignition.
