Description

Butyl Glyoxylate is a versatile and reactive organic ester, a key building block in fine chemical synthesis. Its value lies in its bifunctional glyoxylate group, which enables it to participate in a wide range of condensation and addition reactions. This makes it an essential intermediate for manufacturers in the agrochemical, pharmaceutical, and specialty polymer industries seeking to create complex molecular architectures.

Application

• Agrochemical Intermediate: A critical precursor in the synthesis of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Used as a key building block for creating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in heterocyclic chemistry.
• Specialty Polymer & Resin Production: Serves as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the manufacture of high-performance coatings, adhesives, and specialty resins.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Employed in the synthesis of complex aroma chemicals and flavoring agents.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Utilized in various name reactions, including Strecker and Ugi-type multicomponent reactions, for creating amino acid derivatives and complex amides.
• Chemical Research & Development: A valuable reagent for exploring new synthetic pathways and developing novel compounds in R&D laboratories.

Quality Control

Our Butyl Glyoxylate is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay (HPLC), identity confirmation (IR, NMR), and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability, purity, and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
