Description

1-(Chloromethyl)-4-Allylbenzene is a versatile aromatic organic compound featuring both a reactive chloromethyl group and an allyl functional group. This bifunctional nature makes it a valuable chemical intermediate for synthesizing more complex molecules in fine chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing. It is primarily sought after by R&D chemists and process development teams in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries for constructing advanced molecular architectures.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring benzyl or styrenyl motifs.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced crop protection agents and herbicides.
• Polymer & Resin Modifier: Serves as a cross-linking agent or monomer in the production of specialty polymers, resins, and coatings.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Material Precursor: An intermediate in the synthesis of organic electronic materials and liquid crystal compounds.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Employed in organic synthesis for introducing the 4-allylbenzyl moiety into target molecules via further functionalization.
• Research & Development: A valuable reagent for academic and industrial R&D in medicinal chemistry and material science.

Quality Control

Our 1-(Chloromethyl)-4-Allylbenzene is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistency, meeting the stringent requirements for use as a chemical intermediate. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to exclude moisture. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
