Description

Cyclohexanecarbonyl Chloride, 3-Chloro-1,3-Dimethyl- (9Ci) is a specialized organic intermediate featuring a reactive acid chloride group on a substituted cyclohexane ring. This compound matters for its role as a key building block in the synthesis of complex molecules, enabling the introduction of the cyclohexanecarbonyl moiety. It is primarily needed by research and development chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for creating active ingredients and novel chemical entities.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a crucial precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring a functionalized cyclohexane core.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and production of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides where its structural motif contributes to biological activity.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Acts as an acylating agent in laboratory-scale and pilot-scale organic reactions to form amides, esters, and ketones.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the manufacture of dyes, pigments, and other performance chemicals requiring specific cyclohexane-based architectures.
• Material Science Research: Investigated as a monomer or modifying agent for polymers and advanced materials with tailored properties.

Quality Control

Our Cyclohexanecarbonyl Chloride, 3-Chloro-1,3-Dimethyl- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are 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, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and reacts with water and strong bases; containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent decomposition. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
