Description

Diethylaluminum Cyanide Solution is a highly reactive organoaluminum compound primarily used as a versatile nucleophilic cyanide transfer reagent in organic synthesis. Its value lies in its ability to efficiently introduce the cyano group into a wide range of electrophiles under mild conditions, enabling the synthesis of complex nitriles, which are key intermediates for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. This solution is essential for R&D chemists and process development scientists in the fine chemical, pharmaceutical, and advanced material sectors seeking to streamline synthetic routes.

Application

• Nucleophilic Cyanide Source: Key reagent for the cyanation of aldehydes, ketones, and epoxides to form cyanohydrins and related derivatives.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate Synthesis: Used in the production of nitrile-containing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and key chiral building blocks.
• Agrochemical Manufacturing: Employed in the synthesis of herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides that contain nitrile functional groups.
• Fine Chemical Production: Facilitates the synthesis of specialty nitriles used in flavors, fragrances, and dyes.
• Polymer Chemistry: Acts as a catalyst or initiator in certain polymerization reactions and in the modification of polymer chains.
• Material Science Research: Utilized in the development of novel organic and hybrid materials with specific electronic or structural properties.

Quality Control

Our Diethylaluminum Cyanide Solution is manufactured under stringent quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for sensitive synthetic applications. Each lot is analyzed to confirm critical parameters such as concentration, purity, and absence of deleterious impurities. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided and can be tailored to meet specific customer or regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This material is easily oxidized and must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Due to its reactivity with moisture and air, containers should be kept sealed and handled using appropriate air-free techniques.
