Description

2-n-Decylaminoethanethiol is a specialized organosulfur compound featuring a long-chain decyl group and a thiol functionality. This unique structure makes it a valuable intermediate and ligand in advanced chemical synthesis and materials science. It is particularly sought after by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries for applications requiring surface modification, metal complexation, or as a building block for more complex molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs, particularly where lipophilicity and specific binding properties are required.
• Surface Modifier & Corrosion Inhibitor: Acts as a functional agent for modifying metal or nanoparticle surfaces, forming self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) to alter surface properties or provide corrosion protection.
• Polymer Additive & Crosslinking Agent: Serves as a chain transfer agent or crosslinker in the production of specialty polymers, rubbers, and resins to impart specific mechanical or chemical resistance properties.
• Metal Chelating Agent: Functions as a ligand for the extraction, recovery, or catalysis of precious and heavy metals in analytical and industrial processes.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed as a key intermediate in the manufacture of certain pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Research & Development: A crucial reagent in organic and organometallic chemistry research for constructing complex molecular architectures.

Quality Control

Our 2-n-Decylaminoethanethiol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, identity, and relevant impurities is provided with every shipment.

Storage

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