Description

2,2-Dimethylbutanal is a branched-chain aliphatic aldehyde with the CAS number 2094-75-9, valued for its role as a versatile chemical intermediate and flavor/fragrance component. Its unique structure makes it a key building block for synthesizing pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty polymers. This product is essential for R&D laboratories and manufacturers in the flavor & fragrance, fine chemical, and pharmaceutical industries seeking high-purity intermediates.

Application

• Flavor and Fragrance Ingredient: Used as a key component in creating fruity, green, and nutty flavor profiles for food products and beverages, as well as in perfumery for fresh, aldehydic notes.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a crucial building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other complex organic molecules.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed in the production of pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators due to its reactive aldehyde group.
• Polymer and Resin Modifier: Acts as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the manufacture of specialty polymers, coatings, and resins to alter physical properties.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: A valuable reagent in research and development for Grignard reactions, reductive amination, and other carbonyl chemistry.
• Chemical Intermediate for Fine Chemicals: Used in the production of various fine chemicals, including plasticizers, stabilizers, and corrosion inhibitors.

Quality Control

Our 2,2-Dimethylbutanal is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) for each lot, detailing key parameters such as assay, identity, and impurity profiles. For customers with specific regulatory needs, we can supply material that meets the requirements of ISO, GMP, and REACH compliance frameworks.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and highly volatile, it is recommended to store under an inert gas (e.g., nitrogen) and keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability.
