Description

3,3',3''-(((2,4,6-Trimethylbenzene-1,3,5-Triyl)Tris(Methylene))Tris(Oxy))Tribenzoic Acid is a sophisticated, multi-branched organic compound featuring a central mesitylene core symmetrically linked to three benzoic acid groups via flexible methyleneoxy bridges. This unique molecular architecture, with CAS NO 1417713-93-9, makes it a valuable building block (monomer) and ligand for constructing advanced functional materials. It is primarily sought by R&D and production teams in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries for developing novel active ingredients, catalysts, and high-performance polymers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key precursor in the synthesis of complex drug molecules, particularly those requiring symmetrical, multi-armed structures for enhanced binding or solubility.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of new herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators where its trifunctional nature allows for the creation of potent active ingredients.
• Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) Precursor: Acts as a versatile organic linker for constructing porous MOF materials with potential applications in gas storage, separation, and catalysis.
• Dendrimer and Hyperbranched Polymer Synthesis: Functions as a core monomer for building dendrimers and hyperbranched polymers with precise molecular weights and tailored surface functionalities.
• Ligand for Catalysis: Its three carboxylate groups can coordinate to metal centers, making it a candidate ligand for designing homogeneous catalysts in organic transformations.
• Cross-linking Agent: Employed in the production of specialty resins, coatings, and elastomers to introduce rigidity and thermal stability into the polymer network.

Quality Control

We maintain stringent quality control protocols for our fine chemical intermediates. Production follows cGMP guidelines where applicable, and every batch is analyzed using advanced techniques like HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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 opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
