Description

1-Cyclohexene-1-Carbonyl Chloride, 2,6,6-Trimethyl- (9Ci) is a specialized organic intermediate featuring a reactive acid chloride group on a substituted cyclohexene ring. This compound matters for its role as a key building block in the synthesis of complex molecules, enabling the introduction of the 2,6,6-trimethylcyclohexenyl-carbonyl moiety. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fragrance industries for creating novel active ingredients and fine chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those requiring a lipophilic, sterically hindered carbonyl component.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for advanced pesticides and herbicides, where its structural motif can contribute to biological activity.
• Fragrance & Flavor Chemistry: Acts as a key intermediate for producing synthetic aroma chemicals with woody, amber-like notes derived from its trimethylcyclohexene structure.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the development of specialty polymers and advanced organic materials that incorporate custom functional groups.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Utilized in academic and industrial laboratories for acylations and as a versatile scaffold in multi-step synthetic routes.

Quality Control

Our 1-Cyclohexene-1-Carbonyl Chloride, 2,6,6-Trimethyl- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and highly volatile nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition. Keep away from strong bases, oxidizers, and sources of ignition.
