Description

(3,4-Dihydro-2H-Pyran-2-Yl)Methyl Acrylate CAS NO 4563-40-0 is a specialized acrylate ester monomer featuring a tetrahydropyranyl (THP) protecting group. This compound is valued for its dual functionality, serving as a reactive acrylate moiety and a protected alcohol precursor, which is critical for controlled polymerization and selective synthesis in advanced organic chemistry. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries for developing novel materials, prodrugs, and functional intermediates.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of prodrugs and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where controlled release or solubility enhancement is required.
• Polymer Science & Specialty Monomers: Used in the development of functional polymers, coatings, and adhesives with tailored properties, leveraging the reactivity of the acrylate group and the cleavable THP group.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Intermediate in the production of advanced crop protection agents and herbicides.
• Cross-linking Agent: Employed in formulations for UV-curable resins, inks, and coatings to modify network density and final material properties.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Acts as a protected glycol derivative in multi-step synthetic routes, allowing for selective deprotection under mild acidic conditions.
• Material Science Research: Utilized in academic and industrial R&D for creating novel macromolecular architectures and smart materials.

Quality Control

Our (3,4-Dihydro-2H-Pyran-2-Yl)Methyl Acrylate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC/GC) and spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. This material is light-sensitive (store away from light) and compatible with strong acid/organic solvent environments but should be segregated from strong oxidizing agents and bases.
