Description

4-(4-Chlorophenyl)Butanoic Acid is a versatile organic building block characterized by its phenyl ring substituted with a chlorophenyl group and a butanoic acid chain. This structure makes it a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of more complex molecules, particularly in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors. It is primarily sought after by R&D chemists and process development scientists for creating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), liquid crystal materials, and advanced organic compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and other bioactive molecules.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Liquid Crystal Manufacturing: Serves as a precursor for mesogenic compounds used in display technologies.
• Organic Synthesis & Research: A versatile building block for constructing complex organic frameworks in academic and industrial R&D laboratories.
• Fine Chemical Production: Intermediate in the manufacture of dyes, pigments, and specialty performance chemicals.

Quality Control

Our 4-(4-Chlorophenyl)Butanoic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. Our quality commitment supports applications in GMP-aligned environments and research requiring high-purity intermediates.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
