Description

Cyclopentadiene Dimer CAS NO 7313-32-8 is a crucial organic intermediate formed by the Diels-Alder dimerization of cyclopentadiene. This compound is valued for its role as a versatile precursor in the synthesis of more complex molecules, particularly in the production of specialty polymers and fine chemicals. It is essential for manufacturers in the agrochemical, pharmaceutical, and advanced materials sectors seeking reliable, high-purity building blocks for their processes.

Application

• Key intermediate in the synthesis of pesticides and herbicides.
• Precursor for the production of specialty resins and polymers, including hydrocarbon resins.
• Starting material for fine chemical and pharmaceutical active ingredient (API) synthesis.
• Used in the manufacture of flame retardants and other functional additives.
• Essential building block in organic and organometallic chemistry research.
• Intermediate for dyes, pigments, and other performance chemicals.

Quality Control

Our Cyclopentadiene Dimer is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise purity and consistency standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance for your applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to minimize dimer reversion to monomer and maintain product integrity.
