Description

4-Iodocinnamic Acid is a halogenated derivative of cinnamic acid, characterized by an iodine atom at the para position of the phenyl ring. This structural feature makes it a versatile and valuable organic synthetic intermediate for constructing more complex molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and materials science research. It is primarily utilized by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials industries.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially for compounds targeting inflammation or cancer.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the development of novel herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Acts as a precursor in the synthesis of advanced organic electronic materials and liquid crystal compounds.
• Cross-Coupling Reactions: An essential substrate in palladium-catalyzed reactions like Suzuki, Heck, and Sonogashira couplings for carbon-carbon bond formation.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Utilized to create tagged molecules for studying biological processes and protein interactions.
• Polymer Modification: Employed to introduce functional groups into polymer backbones to alter physical and chemical properties.

Quality Control

Our 4-Iodocinnamic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all critical parameters. Our quality commitment supports compliance with ISO standards and meets the stringent requirements of research and development applications.

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). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, prolonged exposure to light should be avoided to maintain product integrity.
