Description

Benzoyl Chloride, 2,6-Diethyl- (7Ci,9Ci) CAS NO 64359-02-0 is a specialized organic intermediate featuring a benzoyl chloride core substituted with ethyl groups at the 2 and 6 positions. This compound is valued for its role as a key acylating agent and building block in the synthesis of more complex molecules, particularly in fine chemical and pharmaceutical research. It is primarily sought after by R&D chemists and process development scientists working in advanced organic synthesis, agrochemical development, and material science.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a crucial precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially those requiring a sterically hindered benzoyl moiety.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators where its specific substitution pattern imparts desired biological activity.
• Polymer Chemistry: Acts as a monomer or modifying agent in the creation of specialty polymers, such as polyesters or polyamides, with tailored thermal and mechanical properties.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Employed in the preparation of novel ligands for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) or asymmetric catalysis.
• Dye and Pigment Manufacturing: Functions as an intermediate in the synthesis of complex organic dyes and colorants.
• Organic Synthesis Research: A versatile reagent for introducing the 2,6-diethylbenzoyl group into target molecules in academic and industrial R&D settings.

Quality Control

Our Benzoyl Chloride, 2,6-Diethyl- is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with key parameters including assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics. Our quality systems are designed to support cGMP and ISO standards for reliable supply to regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature and reactivity as a strong acid/organic solvent, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon to prevent hydrolysis and degradation. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
