Description

Benzenebutanoic Acid, α-[[1,1-Bis(Hydroxymethyl)-3-(4-Octylphenyl)Propyl]Amino]-4-Octyl- is a specialized organic compound featuring a complex molecular structure with both hydrophobic (octyl) and hydrophilic (hydroxymethyl, amino, acid) functional groups. This unique amphiphilic nature makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing advanced surfactants, emulsifiers, and specialty polymers. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process engineers in the fine chemical, pharmaceutical, and advanced material manufacturing sectors.

Application

• Surfactant & Emulsifier Intermediate: Key building block for synthesizing novel non-ionic or amphoteric surfactants used in high-performance detergents, coatings, and agrochemical formulations.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Serves as a sophisticated chiral intermediate or a lipophilic moiety in the research and development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Polymer Modification: Used to introduce functional side chains into polymers, enhancing properties like solubility, biocompatibility, or self-assembly for specialty plastics and resins.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Potential precursor for creating organic semiconductors or alignment layers in display technologies due to its structured aromatic core and alkyl chains.
• Cosmetic Ingredient Synthesis: Intermediate for producing specialty esters or amides that function as emulsifiers or delivery agents in advanced skincare products.
• Research & Development: A valuable tool compound in academic and industrial research for studying self-assembly, micelle formation, and host-guest chemistry.

Quality Control

Every batch of Benzenebutanoic Acid, α-[[1,1-Bis(Hydroxymethyl)-3-(4-Octylphenyl)Propyl]Amino]-4-Octyl- is produced and controlled under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical documentation, including a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with data from techniques such as HPLC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy to confirm identity, purity, and conformity to agreed specifications. Our quality commitment ensures material consistency and traceability for your critical R&D and production processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
