Quality Control

Our 2-(3-Methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)benzoyl chloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and scale-up activities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment.

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 and moisture-sensitive nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent decomposition. Keep away from heat, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong bases, alcohols, and amines.
