Description

1,1'-Dodecamethylenediguanidinium Dichloride is a high-purity, synthetic organic salt belonging to the bisguanidinium family. This compound is valued for its strong cationic properties and ability to act as an effective phase transfer catalyst or a versatile chemical intermediate in specialized syntheses. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and industrial manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for developing novel active ingredients and functional polymers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring guanidinium functional groups for enhanced bioactivity.
• Phase Transfer Catalyst (PTC): Facilitates reactions between reagents in immiscible phases (e.g., aqueous and organic) in specialty chemical manufacturing.
• Polymer Modification: Serves as a monomer or cross-linking agent for creating cationic polymers with applications in water treatment, coatings, and advanced composites.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed as a key building block in the production of certain herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Biochemical Research: Used in laboratory studies involving enzyme inhibition, nucleic acid binding, or membrane transport processes due to its cationic nature.
• Material Science: Investigated for use in the development of ionic liquids, conductive polymers, and other functional materials.

Quality Control

Our 1,1'-Dodecamethylenediguanidinium Dichloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
