Description

n-(2,4,6-Trimethylphenyl)Formamide, 97% is a high-purity organic intermediate characterized by its formamide group attached to a mesitylene (trimethylbenzene) core. This compound is valued for its role as a versatile building block in the synthesis of more complex molecules, particularly in fine chemical and pharmaceutical research. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the agrochemical, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical industries for constructing heterocyclic compounds and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of novel drug candidates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring a substituted aniline or benzamide moiety.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides, where the mesitylene group can impart steric bulk and influence biological activity.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Serves as a starting material for creating specialized ligands used in transition metal catalysis and organometallic chemistry.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the multi-step synthesis of dyes, pigments, and other performance chemicals requiring specific aromatic substitution patterns.
• Academic & Industrial Research: A valuable reagent for methodological studies in organic synthesis, including amidation and cross-coupling reactions.

Quality Control

Our n-(2,4,6-Trimethylphenyl)Formamide is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets the declared 97% minimum purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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 after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
