Quality Control

Our Benzoyl Chloride, 3-(1-Hydroxyethyl)- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment, to ensure consistency and reliability for sensitive synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at 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 to prevent hydrolysis and degradation.
