Description

1,2,3,4-Cyclobutanetetracarboxylic Acid CAS NO 53159-92-5 is a high-purity, multifunctional organic acid building block characterized by its unique cyclobutane ring and four carboxylic acid groups. This structure makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing complex molecules, particularly in advanced material science and pharmaceutical research. It is essential for industries requiring precise, high-performance chemical precursors for polymers, ligands, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key starting material for the synthesis of novel drug candidates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), leveraging its rigid cyclic structure.
• Polymer & Resin Synthesis: Serves as a polyfunctional monomer for creating high-performance polymers, coatings, and adhesives with enhanced thermal and mechanical properties.
• Chelating Agent & Ligand Precursor: Used to develop specialized ligands for catalysis and metal ion sequestration in industrial processes.
• Advanced Material Research: Employed in R&D for organic electronics, liquid crystals, and other functional materials due to its symmetrical, multi-acid functionality.
• Cross-linking Agent: Functions as an effective cross-linker in the production of thermosetting resins and elastomers.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: A versatile building block for synthesizing complex organic compounds in academic and industrial laboratories.

Quality Control

Our 1,2,3,4-Cyclobutanetetracarboxylic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed and away from direct light to maintain stability and purity.
