Description

2,4,4,4-Tetrachlorobutyryl Chloride is a highly reactive chlorinated acid chloride derivative, serving as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in its ability to efficiently introduce the tetrachlorobutyryl moiety, enabling the production of specialized compounds with unique properties. This intermediate is essential for manufacturers in the agrochemical and pharmaceutical sectors, particularly for developing active ingredients and complex molecules.

Application

• Agrochemical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Used as a building block for creating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other complex organic molecules.
• Polymer Chemistry: Acts as a monomer or modifier in the production of specialty polymers and resins with enhanced chemical resistance.
• Dyestuff and Pigment Manufacturing: Employed in the synthesis of specialized dyes and organic pigments.
• Chemical Research & Development: A valuable reagent for academic and industrial R&D in exploring new synthetic pathways.
• Fine Chemical Production: Integral to the manufacture of other high-value, low-volume specialty chemicals.

Quality Control

Our 2,4,4,4-Tetrachlorobutyryl Chloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency meet the highest standards. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay and impurity profiles.

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 and strong acid/organic solvent nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent moisture absorption and degradation. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability.
