Description

2-Cyanoethyl Sucrose is a functionalized sucrose derivative where cyanoethyl groups are introduced onto the sugar hydroxyls. This chemical modification is crucial for creating intermediates with enhanced reactivity and solubility profiles for advanced synthesis. It is primarily sought after by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and specialty chemical sectors for developing novel drug delivery systems, polymeric materials, and as a key building block in organic synthesis.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of novel drug candidates and prodrugs.
• Polymer Chemistry: Used as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the production of specialty polymers, hydrogels, and biodegradable materials.
• Chromatography Media: Employed in the functionalization of stationary phases for affinity or ion-exchange chromatography.
• Surface Modification: Acts as a coating or grafting agent to modify the surface properties of biomaterials and implants.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Potential use in the formulation of advanced skin care products requiring film-forming or moisture-binding properties.
• Research & Development: A valuable tool in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new carbohydrate-based chemistry and bioconjugation techniques.

Quality Control

Our 2-Cyanoethyl Sucrose is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay (by HPLC), moisture content, and related substances is provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic nature, it is recommended to handle the material under a dry atmosphere or inert gas to prevent moisture uptake, which can affect stability and performance. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C.
