Description

Benzoyl Chloride, 2-(1-Methylethyl)- (9Ci) CAS NO 53881-34-8 is a specialized organic compound belonging to the class of substituted benzoyl chlorides, characterized by an isopropyl group at the ortho position of the aromatic ring. This structural feature makes it a valuable and versatile acylating agent and chemical intermediate for synthesizing more complex molecules. It is primarily sought after by research chemists and process development teams in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for the production of active ingredients, fine chemicals, and advanced materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in creating amide or ester derivatives with specific steric properties.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides where the isopropyl-benzoyl moiety is required for biological activity.
• Fine Chemical & Specialty Chemical Production: Serves as an acylating agent in organic synthesis for creating dyes, pigments, and performance chemicals.
• Polymer Chemistry: Can be utilized as a monomer or modifying agent in the synthesis of specialty polymers and resins.
• Research & Development: Essential reagent in academic and industrial R&D labs for method development and exploring new chemical entities.
• Material Science: Potential intermediate for surface modification agents and advanced organic materials.

Quality Control

Our Benzoyl Chloride, 2-(1-Methylethyl)- is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by titration and impurity profile analysis by GC/HPLC, to ensure high purity and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong bases, alcohols, and oxidizing agents. Due to its moisture-sensitive (hygroscopic) nature, containers should be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to maintain product integrity. Recommended storage temperature: 2-8°C for long-term stability.
