Description

3-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)Lactic Acid is a specialized chlorinated aromatic acid derivative that serves as a critical chiral building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in its unique molecular structure, which combines a lactic acid moiety with a dichlorophenyl group, enabling precise chemical modifications for high-value applications. This compound is primarily needed by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for developing active ingredients and novel compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key chiral synthon for the research and development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial drug candidates.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Building block for the production of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators, leveraging the dichlorophenyl group's bioactivity.
• Chemical Research: Versatile starting material in academic and industrial R&D for studying structure-activity relationships and synthesizing novel aromatic compounds.
• Fine Chemical Production: Intermediate in the manufacture of specialty chemicals, dyes, and performance materials requiring specific chlorinated aromatic architectures.
• Asymmetric Synthesis: Utilized in catalytic and enzymatic processes to introduce chirality into target molecules for high-purity enantiomer production.

Quality Control

Our 3-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)Lactic Acid is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and chiral purity, and is supplied with a corresponding Certificate of Analysis (COA). We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable, ensuring the material meets the stringent requirements for research and production use in regulated industries.

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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
