Description

3-Mercapto-6-Methylpyridazine (CAS NO 5788-47-6) is a versatile heterocyclic building block featuring both a mercapto (thiol) group and a methyl-substituted pyridazine ring. This unique structure makes it a critical intermediate for synthesizing more complex molecules in advanced research and industrial applications. It is primarily sought after by pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical manufacturers for the development of active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key synthon in the research and production of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders and other therapeutic areas.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of next-generation herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, leveraging its heterocyclic core for bioactivity.
• Ligand and Chelating Agent: Serves as a precursor for creating specialized ligands in coordination chemistry and catalysis due to its sulfur and nitrogen donor atoms.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the synthesis of organic electronic materials, dyes, and polymers where the pyridazine moiety imparts specific electronic properties.
• Chemical Biology Probe Development: Utilized as a building block for creating molecular probes and biochemical tools to study enzyme function and cellular processes.

Quality Control

Our 3-Mercapto-6-Methylpyridazine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure high purity and consistent chemical identity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all relevant specifications. Our quality commitment supports compliance with cGMP and ICH guidelines for pharmaceutical intermediates.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
