Description

4-Amino-2-Ethoxybenzonitrile is a versatile aromatic amine derivative featuring both amino and nitrile functional groups on an ethoxy-substituted benzene ring. This unique structure makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing complex molecules, particularly in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors. It is primarily sought after by research and development chemists and process engineers for creating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), dyes, and advanced materials. The compound's reactivity allows for targeted modifications, enabling the development of new compounds with specific biological or physical properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key building block in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly for central nervous system (CNS) agents and other therapeutic molecules.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides, leveraging its aromatic amine core.
• Dye and Pigment Manufacturing: Serves as a precursor for azo dyes and other high-performance colorants due to its diazotizable amino group.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the development of organic semiconductors, liquid crystals, and polymers where its electron-donating and accepting properties are beneficial.
• Chemical Research & Development: A versatile reagent for academic and industrial R&D labs exploring new organic reactions and heterocyclic compound synthesis.

Quality Control

Our 4-Amino-2-Ethoxybenzonitrile is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with batch-specific data is provided with every shipment. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to ensure consistency and traceability for our global B2B clients.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and propensity for oxidation, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
