Description

2-Butenoic Acid, 3-Amino-2-Cyano-, Ethyl Ester is a versatile cyanoacrylate derivative and a key heterocyclic building block in advanced organic synthesis. This compound matters for its bifunctional reactivity, offering both an activated cyano group and an amino-substituted α,β-unsaturated ester moiety, which enables the construction of complex nitrogen-containing heterocycles. It is primarily needed by research chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for synthesizing novel active ingredients, as well as by manufacturers of specialty dyes and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A critical precursor for synthesizing pyridine, pyrimidine, and other nitrogen-based heterocycles found in active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of novel herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides that require specific heterocyclic scaffolds.
• Dye and Pigment Manufacturing: Serves as a building block for creating advanced colorants and functional dyes with specific light-absorption properties.
• Polymer Science: Acts as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the synthesis of specialty polymers, including those with photoactive or conductive properties.
• Chemical Research & Development: A valuable reagent in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new reactions and constructing complex molecular libraries.
• Material Science: Employed in the development of organic electronic materials and advanced coatings.

Quality Control

Our 2-Butenoic Acid, 3-Amino-2-Cyano-, Ethyl Ester is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistent chemical identity. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics. Our quality commitment ensures the material meets the stringent requirements for research and process development applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
