Description

Endosulfan Alcohol is a key chemical intermediate and metabolite of the organochlorine insecticide endosulfan. This compound is of significant importance in analytical chemistry, environmental monitoring, and toxicological research, serving as a critical reference standard. It is primarily needed by research institutions, analytical laboratories, and chemical manufacturers involved in pesticide residue analysis, environmental fate studies, and the synthesis of specialized derivatives.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified standard for the quantification of endosulfan and its metabolites in environmental and food samples via GC-MS or HPLC.
• Environmental Monitoring: Critical for tracking the degradation pathway and persistence of endosulfan in soil and water systems.
• Toxicology Research: Used in studies to understand the metabolic breakdown, bioaccumulation, and toxicological profile of endosulfan in biological systems.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a precursor or intermediate in the synthesis of other organochlorine compounds or labeled analogs for research purposes.
• Quality Control: Employed by manufacturers and regulatory bodies to validate analytical methods and ensure the accuracy of pesticide residue testing.
