Description

Benzoyl Chloride, 3-Amino-2-Methyl- (9Ci) is a specialized aromatic acid chloride derivative, distinguished by the presence of both an amino and a methyl substituent on the benzoyl core. This unique bifunctional structure makes it a valuable and versatile building block in advanced organic synthesis, particularly for constructing complex molecular architectures. It is primarily sought after by research institutions and chemical manufacturers engaged in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and high-performance materials. The compound's reactivity profile allows for selective modifications, enabling the creation of novel amides, esters, and heterocyclic compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially those requiring a functionalized benzamide or aniline moiety.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides where its aromatic core contributes to biological activity.
• Polymer & Material Science: Serves as a monomer or cross-linking agent for producing specialty polymers, dyes, and pigments.
• Peptide Mimetics & Bioconjugation: Facilitates the introduction of benzoyl groups into peptides or biomolecules for research and diagnostic applications.
• Ligand & Catalyst Development: Employed in the creation of novel ligands for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and asymmetric catalysis.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: A versatile reagent for acylations and as a protected intermediate in multi-step synthetic routes.

Quality Control

Our Benzoyl Chloride, 3-Amino-2-Methyl- (9Ci) is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature and reactivity as a strong acid/organic solvent derivative, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent hydrolysis and degradation. Keep away from heat, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong bases, alcohols, and amines.
