Description

Cyclohexanecarbonyl Chloride, 4-Cyano- (9Ci) is a versatile and reactive organic intermediate featuring both an acid chloride and a nitrile functional group. This dual functionality makes it a critical building block for the synthesis of complex molecules, particularly in advanced pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. It is primarily sought after by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the fine chemical and life sciences industries for constructing novel compounds and active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially those containing cyclohexane and amide moieties.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of novel herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, leveraging its reactive sites for structural diversification.
• Polymer Chemistry: Serves as a monomer or cross-linking agent for specialty polymers, including polyamides and polyesters with specific thermal or chemical resistance.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Employed in organic and organometallic chemistry to create novel ligands for asymmetric catalysis and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Dye and Pigment Manufacturing: Acts as an intermediate for producing specialized colorants and photographic chemicals.
• Custom Synthesis and Contract Research: A valuable reagent for CROs (Contract Research Organizations) and CDMOs (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations) engaged in custom chemical synthesis projects.

Quality Control

Our Cyclohexanecarbonyl Chloride, 4-Cyano- (9Ci) is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 and moisture-sensitive nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent hydrolysis. Keep away from strong bases, oxidizing agents, and sources of ignition.
