Description

2,3-Dichloropropene CAS NO 78-88-6 is a versatile chlorinated organic intermediate of significant commercial importance. This highly reactive alkene is valued for its role as a key building block in the synthesis of more complex chemical products. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the agrochemical, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical industries for applications ranging from pesticide synthesis to polymer modification.

Application

• Agrochemical Intermediate: A critical precursor in the synthesis of certain soil fumigants, nematicides, and herbicides.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Serves as a reactive alkylating agent and building block for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and fine chemicals.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Used as a cross-linking agent or comonomer to impart specific properties to polymers and epoxy resins.
• Chemical Research & Development: Employed in organic synthesis laboratories for the preparation of chlorinated derivatives and other specialty compounds.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Acts as an intermediate in the production of certain synthetic aroma chemicals.

Quality Control

Our 2,3-Dichloropropene is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise purity and composition specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed and upright to minimize vapor release. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability.
