Quality Control

Our Benzoyl Chloride, 2-(2-Methylpropoxy)- (9Ci) is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics. We support custom synthesis and can tailor specifications to meet specific project requirements, including compliance with cGMP standards for pharmaceutical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature and reactivity as a strong acid/organic solvent, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent decomposition. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C.
