Description

Diisopropyl Carbonate is a versatile organic carbonate ester with the CAS number 6482-34-4, valued for its role as a high-purity solvent and chemical intermediate. Its utility stems from its favorable solvating properties and reactivity, making it a critical component in advanced synthesis and formulation processes. This compound is essential for industries such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty polymers, where precise chemical properties and reliable quality are paramount for production success.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs, particularly where carbonate groups are required for controlled release or metabolic stability.
• Polymer & Resin Production: Serves as a monomer or co-monomer in the production of polycarbonates and other specialty polymers, contributing to material properties like clarity and impact resistance.
• Electrolyte Solvent: Employed as a high-purity component in lithium-ion battery electrolytes, where its stability and solvating power are advantageous.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Acts as a key building block in the manufacture of herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, facilitating the introduction of carbonate functionalities.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Functions as a protecting group for alcohols or as a carbonyl source in transesterification and carbonylation reactions under mild conditions.
• Specialty Coatings & Adhesives: Utilized in formulations where its volatility and solvent properties aid in film formation and adhesion.

Quality Control

Our Diisopropyl Carbonate is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed against rigorous in-house specifications, which typically include identity confirmation, assay, and control of key impurities. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain product integrity. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C.
