Description

α-[(Ethylamino)Methyl]-3-(Trifluoromethyl)Benzyl Alcohol is a specialized organic intermediate featuring a benzyl alcohol core substituted with a trifluoromethyl group and an ethylamino-methyl side chain. This compound matters for its role as a key building block in the synthesis of more complex molecules, particularly in advanced pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. It is needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries who require high-purity, structurally defined intermediates for creating novel active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A critical precursor in the synthesis of potential drug candidates, particularly those targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders or possessing specific receptor-binding profiles.
• Agrochemical Research: Serves as a building block for developing new herbicides, fungicides, or insecticides, where the trifluoromethyl group can enhance biological activity and metabolic stability.
• Ligand Synthesis: Used in the preparation of specialized ligands for catalysis or metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in material science applications.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in multi-step organic synthesis for creating complex, high-value specialty chemicals used in electronics or advanced materials.
• Bioconjugation & Probe Development: The reactive alcohol and amine functionalities make it suitable for creating chemical probes or bioconjugates for biochemical and diagnostic research.

Quality Control

Our α-[(Ethylamino)Methyl]-3-(Trifluoromethyl)Benzyl Alcohol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via NMR and IR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical synthesis work.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled 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. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
