Description

Benzeneacetic Acid, 3-Amino-5-Chloro- CAS NO 1261645-37-7 is a halogenated and aminated derivative of phenylacetic acid, serving as a versatile and high-value synthetic intermediate. Its molecular structure makes it a critical building block for the synthesis of complex active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and advanced agrochemicals. This compound is primarily sought by research and development teams, as well as production chemists, in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty fine chemical sectors.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly in antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and central nervous system (CNS) active compounds.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators, leveraging its halogenated aromatic core.
• Fine Chemical Production: Serves as a building block for dyes, pigments, and other specialty organic compounds requiring a functionalized phenylacetic acid scaffold.
• Research & Development: Essential material for medicinal chemistry research, process development, and analytical method development in contract research organizations (CROs) and academic institutions.
• Peptide Mimetics: The carboxylic acid and amino functional groups make it suitable for constructing non-natural amino acids and peptide analogs.
