Description

4-[(Methoxycarbonyl)Amino]Benzoic Acid is a high-purity organic intermediate featuring both a carboxylic acid and a protected amino (urethane) functional group. This compound is valued for its role as a versatile building block in the synthesis of more complex molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the fine chemical and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturing sectors.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially those requiring a benzoic acid scaffold with a protected amine.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Building block for developing novel herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Dye and Pigment Manufacturing: Used in the production of specialized azo dyes and organic pigments.
• Polymer Chemistry: Monomer or modifier for creating polyamides, polyurethanes, and other specialty polymers with specific functional properties.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Intermediate in the synthesis of advanced electronic materials for displays and lighting.
• Bioconjugation & Linker Chemistry: Useful in proteomics and biotech for creating chemical linkers due to its reactive carboxyl and protected amino groups.

Quality Control

Our 4-[(Methoxycarbonyl)Amino]Benzoic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (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.
