Quality Control

Our 3-[(2,6-Dichlorobenzyl)Oxy]Benzoyl Chloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and GC-MS, to ensure high chemical purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment. We adhere to cGMP guidelines where applicable to support our clients in regulated development pipelines.

Storage

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