Description

Bicyclo[2.2.1]Heptane-7-Carbonyl Chloride, 7-Methyl- (9Ci) is a specialized, high-purity organic intermediate featuring a reactive acid chloride group on a rigid norbornane-derived framework. This compound matters for its role as a critical building block in the synthesis of complex molecules, enabling the introduction of the 7-methylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptane moiety. It is primarily needed by research chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical and advanced materials sectors for creating novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and functional polymers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for synthesizing novel drug candidates, particularly those requiring rigid, three-dimensional carbon scaffolds to modulate biological activity and pharmacokinetic properties.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of advanced pesticides and herbicides, where the norbornane structure can contribute to unique biological activity and environmental stability.
• Polymer Chemistry: Serves as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the production of specialty polymers with enhanced thermal stability and mechanical properties.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the development of advanced organic materials, including liquid crystals and organic semiconductors, due to its rigid, non-planar geometry.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Utilized to create molecular probes and tags for studying biological systems, leveraging its reactive carbonyl chloride group for selective conjugation.
• Catalyst Ligand Synthesis: Acts as a precursor for synthesizing chiral ligands used in asymmetric catalysis, essential for producing enantiomerically pure compounds.

Quality Control

Our Bicyclo[2.2.1]Heptane-7-Carbonyl Chloride, 7-Methyl- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent hydrolysis. Keep away from strong bases, oxidizing agents, and sources of ignition.
