Description

3-Amino-4-Iodo Benzoic Acid is a halogenated aniline derivative that serves as a versatile and valuable building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its bifunctional nature, featuring both an aromatic amine and a carboxylic acid group, makes it a critical intermediate for constructing complex molecular architectures. This compound is primarily sought after by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors for developing active ingredients and novel compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for compounds targeting specific receptors or requiring iodine for radiolabeling studies.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators where the iodine atom and benzoic acid moiety contribute to biological activity.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Serves as a starting material for creating specialized ligands used in transition metal catalysis and coordination chemistry.
• Material Science Precursor: Employed in the synthesis of organic electronic materials, dyes, and pigments, where its structure can be incorporated into conjugated systems.
• Research & Development: Essential for medicinal chemistry programs and academic research focused on structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies and novel heterocycle formation.
• Custom Synthesis Building Block: Provides a handle for further functionalization via the amine or carboxylic acid group, enabling the creation of amides, esters, and ureas for specialized applications.

Quality Control

Our 3-Amino-4-Iodo Benzoic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, related substances, and residual solvents is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using an inert atmosphere to minimize potential oxidation.
