Description

1-Methoxy-1-Butene is a versatile, highly volatile ether derivative used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis. Its reactive double bond and methoxy group make it a valuable building block for creating more complex molecules in fine chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing. This compound is essential for research and production in industries requiring specialized alkene chemistry, such as agrochemicals, flavors and fragrances, and polymer science.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a crucial precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other fine chemicals.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Flavor and Fragrance Industry: Acts as a building block for creating specific ester and ether compounds that contribute to complex scent and flavor profiles.
• Polymer and Resin Chemistry: Functions as a monomer or co-monomer in the development of specialty polymers and coatings.
• Organic Synthesis Research: A valuable reagent in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new carbon-carbon bond formation reactions and heterocyclic chemistry.
• Chemical Derivatization: Employed to introduce the methoxybutenyl moiety into target molecules for analytical or functional purposes.

Quality Control

Our 1-Methoxy-1-Butene is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment and are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and moisture ingress.
