Quality Control

Our 5-Chloro-2-[(2-Chloro-4-Fluorobenzyl)Oxy]Benzoyl Chloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR, to ensure it meets the high standards required for advanced synthetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong bases, alcohols, and amines. Due to its acid chloride nature and sensitivity to moisture, it is recommended to handle and store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Typical recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended periods.
