Description

Ethyl n-Methyl-4-Hydroxy-5-Oxo-3-Pyrroline-3-Carboxylate Iron Chelate is a specialized organometallic complex designed to provide bioavailable iron in a stable, soluble form. This compound matters for applications requiring precise iron delivery or catalysis without the drawbacks of inorganic iron salts, such as precipitation or unwanted reactivity. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and advanced agrochemical sectors for developing next-generation formulations.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of iron-supplementing drugs and therapeutic agents targeting iron deficiency.
• Nutraceutical Ingredient: Serves as a key component in high-absorption dietary supplements and fortified food products.
• Agrochemical Formulation: Acts as a micronutrient source in chelated fertilizers and plant growth regulators to correct iron chlorosis.
• Catalysis & Chemical Synthesis: Functions as a catalyst or ligand in specialized organic synthesis and polymerization reactions.
• Research & Development: Employed in biochemical and material science research for studying iron metabolism and metal-organic frameworks.

Quality Control

Our Ethyl n-Methyl-4-Hydroxy-5-Oxo-3-Pyrroline-3-Carboxylate Iron Chelate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profile, and other critical parameters 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 place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and tendency to be easily oxidized, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability. Keep away from incompatible materials.
