Description

2-(2-Amino-6-Chlorophenyl)Acetic Acid is a high-purity, synthetically valuable aromatic acetic acid derivative that serves as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its bifunctional structure, featuring both an amino and a carboxylic acid group on a chlorinated benzene ring, makes it an essential intermediate for constructing complex molecules with high precision. This compound is primarily sought after by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors for developing new active ingredients and fine chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key precursor in the synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for candidates targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders and anti-inflammatory applications.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of advanced herbicides and pesticides, where its chlorinated aromatic core contributes to biological activity.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Serves as a starting material for creating specialized chelating ligands and organocatalysts used in asymmetric synthesis.
• Peptidomimetic Research: The amino acid-like structure makes it valuable for constructing non-natural amino acids and peptidomimetics in medicinal chemistry.
• Dye and Pigment Intermediate: Employed in the synthesis of specialized azo dyes and high-performance pigments requiring chloroaniline derivatives.
• Material Science: Acts as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the development of specialty polymers and functional organic materials.

Quality Control

Our 2-(2-Amino-6-Chlorophenyl)Acetic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for research and commercial synthesis. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR for structural confirmation, and KF titration for moisture content. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting all specifications and test results.

Storage

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