Description

2,5-Dimethoxyphenethyl Isocyanate (97%) is a specialized aromatic isocyanate building block of significant interest in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in its highly reactive isocyanate group, which readily forms urethane, urea, and amide linkages, enabling the construction of complex molecular architectures. This compound is primarily needed by research chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science industries for creating novel active ingredients and functional polymers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of new herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators with enhanced efficacy.
• Polymer & Material Science: Serves as a monomer or cross-linking agent for producing specialty polyurethanes, polyureas, and other high-performance polymers with tailored properties.
• Chemical Biology & Proteomics: Utilized as a reactive handle for bioconjugation, labeling biomolecules, or developing activity-based probes for enzyme studies.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Material Research: A precursor for synthesizing advanced organic electronic materials and liquid crystal compounds.
• Custom Synthesis & Contract Manufacturing: Supplied to CROs and CDMOs for client-specific research projects and scale-up campaigns.

Quality Control

Our 2,5-Dimethoxyphenethyl Isocyanate (97%) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming compliance with the stated specifications and industry best practices for research chemicals.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
