Description

Valerate CAS NO 51630-33-2 is a versatile organic compound belonging to the ester family, specifically the valerate ester series. This chemical is valued for its role as a key intermediate and functional ingredient in advanced synthesis and formulation processes. It is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries seeking reliable building blocks for active ingredients, fragrances, and performance additives.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a crucial precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for prodrugs and ester-based therapeutics.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators where the valerate moiety enhances bioavailability or stability.
• Flavor and Fragrance Ingredient: Employed as a component in creating specific ester notes for synthetic flavors and perfumes, contributing to fruity or creamy aromas.
• Polymer and Plasticizer Production: Acts as a monomer or modifying agent in the synthesis of specialty polymers and as a component in certain plasticizer formulations.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Functions as an alkylating agent or protecting group in complex multi-step organic reactions within R&D and fine chemical production.
• Solvent and Extraction Aid: Utilized in specific niche applications as a solvent for resins, oils, and in extraction processes due to its selective solubility properties.

Quality Control

Our Valerate is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We offer various grades, including technical and purified standards, tailored to your application requirements. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with each shipment. Our quality commitment aligns with cGMP principles where applicable, and we support compliance with global regulatory frameworks such as REACH.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and strong bases.
