Description

Tridecane-1-Sulphonyl Chloride is a specialized organic intermediate belonging to the class of sulfonyl chlorides. This compound is valued for its reactivity as an electrophile, making it a crucial building block for introducing the tridecane-sulfonyl moiety into target molecules. It is primarily sought after by research and development chemists and process engineers in the fine chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. Its application is central to the synthesis of surfactants, specialty polymers, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where a long-chain sulfonate group is required.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for introducing hydrophobic sulfonamide functionalities.
• Surfactant & Detergent Chemistry: Serves as a precursor for anionic surfactants with a long C13 alkyl chain, used in industrial cleaners and specialized formulations.
• Polymer Modification: Used to functionalize polymers via sulfonylation reactions to alter solubility, adhesion, or other physical properties.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Intermediate in the production of herbicides, fungicides, or plant growth regulators requiring sulfonamide or sulfonate ester groups.
• Dye and Pigment Manufacturing: Employed in the synthesis of sulfonated dyes and colorants to enhance water solubility and fiber affinity.
• Research & Development: A valuable reagent in organic synthesis labs for creating novel compounds in medicinal chemistry and material science.
• Lubricant Additive Precursor: Used to synthesize sulfonate-based additives that improve the performance of industrial lubricants.

Quality Control

Our Tridecane-1-Sulphonyl Chloride is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Production adheres to cGMP guidelines where applicable, and each lot is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA). The COA includes data for key parameters such as identity (IR/NMR), assay (by titration or HPLC), and impurity profile. We are committed to meeting the stringent specifications required for pharmaceutical and advanced chemical synthesis.

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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent decomposition. Keep away from strong bases, oxidizing agents, and sources of ignition.
