Description

2-Chloro-5-(3-Formylphenyl)Benzoic Acid is a high-purity, multi-functional aromatic carboxylic acid derivative that serves as a critical advanced intermediate in organic synthesis. Its molecular architecture, featuring both a carboxylic acid and a formyl group on a chlorinated biphenyl core, makes it an exceptionally versatile building block for constructing complex molecules. This compound is primarily sought after by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors for the development of new active ingredients and functional materials.

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 inflammatory diseases.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and production of advanced herbicides and fungicides, where its biphenyl structure contributes to biological activity.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Serves as a starting material for creating specialized chelating ligands and organocatalysts used in asymmetric synthesis.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the development of organic semiconductors, liquid crystals, and polymers due to its rigid, functionalized aromatic system.
• Custom Chemical Synthesis: A valuable scaffold for contract research organizations (CROs) and CDMOs producing custom compounds for client-specific R&D programs.

Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Chloro-5-(3-Formylphenyl)Benzoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, NMR, and MS to ensure identity, purity, and consistency meet the exacting standards required for research and commercial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

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 sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
