Description

2-Chlorodecanoic Acid Chloride is a versatile and reactive fatty acid derivative, serving as a crucial acylating agent and synthetic intermediate in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in its ability to efficiently introduce the 2-chlorodecanoyl moiety, enabling the production of specialized compounds with tailored properties. This high-purity intermediate is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries seeking to develop novel active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of potential drug candidates, prodrugs, and bioactive molecules.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators that require specific lipid-like side chains.
• Polymer & Material Science: Acts as a monomer or modifying agent for creating specialized polymers, surfactants, and liquid crystals.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Employed as an acyl chloride in Friedel-Crafts acylation, esterification, and amidation reactions to construct complex organic frameworks.
• Bioconjugation & Probe Development: Useful for labeling biomolecules or modifying surfaces in biochemical research and diagnostics.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additive Precursor: Serves as a starting material for synthesizing high-performance ester-based additives.

Quality Control

Our 2-Chlorodecanoic Acid Chloride is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure high chemical purity and consistency. We provide full traceability and a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications for identity, assay, and impurity profiles.

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 moisture-sensitive (hygroscopic) nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent hydrolysis. Keep away from heat, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong bases, alcohols, and amines.
