Description

Benzaldehyde, 2,3,4,5-Tetrachloro- is a halogenated derivative of benzaldehyde, characterized by the substitution of four chlorine atoms on the aromatic ring. This specific chlorination pattern makes it a valuable and versatile synthetic intermediate for the production of more complex chemical architectures. It is primarily sought after by research chemists and process development teams in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors. The compound, with CAS No. 56962-16-4, serves as a critical building block for creating advanced molecules with targeted biological activity.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key precursor in the synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring a multi-halogenated benzoyl moiety.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides where the tetrachlorobenzaldehyde structure imparts specific bioactivity and stability.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for constructing complex organic molecules, including ligands, dyes, and functional materials.
• Chemical Research: Utilized as a standard or reagent in methodological studies focusing on electrophilic aromatic substitution, oxidation reactions, and palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings.
• Material Science Precursor: Acts as a starting material for the synthesis of specialized polymers or organic electronic materials with unique properties.

Quality Control

Our 2,3,4,5-Tetrachlorobenzaldehyde is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay purity and impurity profiles.

Storage

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