Description

3-Cyclohexylpropionyl Chloride is an organochlorine compound and a key acyl chloride intermediate used in organic synthesis. This versatile reagent is valued for its role in introducing the 3-cyclohexylpropionyl moiety, enabling the production of amides, esters, and ketones with specific structural features. It is primarily utilized by research and development chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for constructing complex molecules and active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key building block for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring a lipophilic cyclohexylpropionyl group.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides where the cyclohexyl moiety can enhance biological activity and stability.
• Polymer Chemistry: Acts as a monomer or modifier in the synthesis of specialty polymers, polyamides, and coatings to alter physical properties.
• Peptide & Protein Research: Employed as an acylating agent for modifying amino acids or protecting groups in peptide synthesis.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Serves as a precursor in the manufacture of advanced electronic materials and display components.
• Fragrance & Flavor Synthesis: Used to create esters and other derivatives that contribute to specific scent and flavor profiles.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: A fundamental reagent for Friedel-Crafts acylation, esterification, and amidation reactions in research laboratories.

Quality Control

Our 3-Cyclohexylpropionyl Chloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with each shipment 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 area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent hydrolysis. Keep away from strong bases, oxidizers, and sources of ignition.
