Description

4-C]Pyridine Dihydrochloride CAS NO 1337880-11-1 is a high-purity, specialty organic salt primarily used as a critical building block in advanced pharmaceutical synthesis and chemical research. Its value lies in its role as a versatile intermediate for constructing complex nitrogen-containing heterocycles, which are foundational to many active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). This compound is essential for R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries seeking to develop new therapeutic agents and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key precursor in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders, infectious diseases, and oncology.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in developing new active ingredients for crop protection products, such as herbicides and insecticides, leveraging its pyridine-based structure.
• Ligand Synthesis: Serves as a starting material for creating complex ligands used in catalysis and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Chemical Biology Probes: Employed in the design and synthesis of molecular probes for studying enzyme function and biological pathways.
• Fine Chemical Manufacturing: Integral to the multi-step synthesis of specialty chemicals, dyes, and advanced polymers.
• Academic & Contract Research: A valuable reagent for methodological development and discovery chemistry in university and CRO (Contract Research Organization) laboratories.

Quality Control

Our 4-C]Pyridine Dihydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and Karl Fischer titration, to ensure high purity and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all specification results. Our quality commitment aligns with cGMP principles for pharmaceutical intermediates, ensuring reliability for your most critical synthesis steps.

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 tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
