Description

Butanenitrile, 4-(Methylamino)- CAS NO 31058-09-0 is a specialized organic nitrile compound featuring a methylamino functional group, serving as a versatile intermediate in fine chemical synthesis. Its value lies in its bifunctional reactivity, where the nitrile moiety can be hydrolyzed or reduced, and the amine group can participate in further derivatization, enabling the construction of complex molecular architectures. This high-purity building block is essential for research and development chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced material sectors who require reliable, high-quality intermediates for their synthetic routes.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for molecules containing β-amino nitrile or diamine structures.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides where its chemical backbone is incorporated into the final active compound.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Serves as a starting material for creating novel chelating ligands and organocatalysts used in asymmetric synthesis.
• Polymer Modification: Acts as a functional monomer or cross-linking agent in the production of specialty polymers with enhanced properties.
• Chemical Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D labs for exploring new synthetic methodologies and constructing compound libraries.
• Dye and Pigment Manufacturing: Utilized as an intermediate in the synthesis of complex colorants and functional dyes.

Quality Control

Our Butanenitrile, 4-(Methylamino)- is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all specified parameters. Our quality commitment aligns with cGMP principles where applicable, ensuring a reliable supply for critical applications in regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from strong acids and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents. Due to its nature as an organic solvent, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and maintain purity.
