Quality Control

Our production of Benzoyl Chloride, 2-(Cyanomethyl)-3,6-Dimethyl- (8Ci) adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all critical specifications. Our quality system is designed to support cGMP requirements for use as a pharmaceutical intermediate.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature and classification as a strong acid/organic solvent, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
