Description

Furan-2-Acetyl Chloride CAS NO 2745-27-9 is a highly reactive acyl chloride derivative of furan, serving as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in its ability to efficiently introduce the 2-furoyl moiety, a key structural motif in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. This intermediate is essential for research chemists and production facilities in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries developing novel active compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those containing furan heterocycles.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides where the furoyl group enhances biological activity.
• Polymer Chemistry: Acts as a monomer or modifying agent for creating specialized polymers with unique thermal or chemical properties.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Employed in the preparation of furan-based ligands for metal catalysis and organocatalysts.
• Material Science Research: Used in the development of organic electronic materials and advanced functional materials.
• Custom Synthesis and R&D: Serves as a versatile starting material for contract research organizations and fine chemical custom manufacturers.

Quality Control

Our Furan-2-Acetyl Chloride is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. All production follows current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) where applicable. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee the material meets your specific research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening. Keep away from strong bases, oxidizers, and moisture.
