Description

Oxiranecarbonitrile, 3-Pentyl- (9Ci) is a specialized epoxide derivative, a high-value chemical intermediate prized for its reactive oxirane (epoxide) ring and nitrile functionality. This compound matters for its versatility in synthesizing more complex molecules, enabling the introduction of both epoxy and cyano groups in a single step. It is needed by research chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials industries for creating novel active ingredients and functional polymers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key building block for the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those requiring chiral centers or specific ring structures.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of new herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Serves as a functional monomer or cross-linking agent to introduce epoxy and nitrile groups into polymer chains, enhancing properties like adhesion, chemical resistance, and thermal stability.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the multi-step synthesis of complex specialty chemicals, dyes, and flavors/fragrances.
• Cross-coupling Reactions: The nitrile group can act as a handle for further transformation via hydrolysis or reduction, expanding its utility in organic synthesis.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A valuable reagent for methodological development and exploring new chemical spaces in research laboratories.
