Description

6-Chloro-6-Deoxyascorbic Acid is a chemically modified derivative of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), where the hydroxyl group at the 6-position is replaced by a chlorine atom. This structural modification imparts unique chemical properties, making it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing novel compounds in pharmaceutical and biochemical research. It is primarily sought after by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and fine chemical sectors for developing new therapeutic agents and studying biochemical pathways.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of novel drug candidates and prodrugs.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic studies related to vitamin C metabolism and transport.
• Nutraceutical Development: Investigated for creating stabilized or targeted derivatives of ascorbic acid with enhanced properties.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a specialized chiral starting material for complex organic syntheses.
• Cosmetic Ingredient Research: Explored for developing advanced skincare actives with modified stability or delivery mechanisms.

Quality Control

Our 6-Chloro-6-Deoxyascorbic Acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability. Keep the container tightly sealed in a dry environment to minimize exposure to moisture.
