Description

Benzoyl Chloride, 3-(2-Chloroethyl)- (9Ci) is a specialized organic intermediate featuring both a benzoyl chloride and a chloroethyl functional group, making it a versatile building block for chemical synthesis. This compound is valued for its ability to introduce the benzoyl moiety and a reactive alkyl halide handle into target molecules in a single step. It is primarily sought by research and development chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for constructing complex molecular architectures.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for compounds requiring benzamide or benzoyl ester linkages with pendant alkylating groups.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and production of herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides where its bifunctional reactivity is advantageous.
• Polymer Chemistry: Serves as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the development of specialty polymers and resins with tailored properties.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Employed in organic and organometallic research to create novel ligands for catalysis and material science applications.
• Chemical Research: A valuable reagent for academic and industrial R&D in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and process development.

Quality Control

Our Benzoyl Chloride, 3-(2-Chloroethyl)- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

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