Description

2-(1-Cyanocyclopropyl)Acetic Acid is a versatile and high-value organic building block characterized by its reactive cyano and carboxylic acid functional groups on a strained cyclopropane ring. This unique molecular architecture makes it a critical intermediate for synthesizing complex molecules in advanced research and development. It is primarily sought after by pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical manufacturers for constructing novel active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key synthon for the development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in protease inhibitor and CNS drug research.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators with novel modes of action.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Serves as a precursor for creating specialized ligands and organocatalysts used in asymmetric synthesis.
• Material Science: Building block for high-performance polymers, liquid crystals, and other functional organic materials.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Utilized in the synthesis of molecular probes and tags for studying biological processes.
• Custom Synthesis & Contract Manufacturing: A pivotal starting material for custom synthesis projects in fine chemical and CDMO (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization) facilities.

Quality Control

Every batch of 2-(1-Cyanocyclopropyl)Acetic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Our products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, NMR, and mass spectrometry, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our clients' regulatory requirements.

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). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage to prevent degradation.
