Description

1-Chloro-7-Phenylheptane, 98+% is a high-purity organic intermediate featuring a linear heptyl chain terminated by a phenyl group and a chloro substituent. This specific molecular architecture makes it a valuable building block for the synthesis of more complex chemical entities, particularly in pharmaceutical and advanced material research. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the fine chemical and life sciences sectors.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially those requiring lipophilic side chains or specific carbon chain lengths.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Material Synthesis: Used in the development of organic semiconductors and liquid crystal compounds where the phenyl-heptyl moiety influences mesomorphic and electronic properties.
• Agrochemical Intermediate: Acts as a building block for creating novel surfactants, adjuvants, or active compounds with tailored hydrophobicity.
• Organic Synthesis & Catalysis Research: Employed in coupling reactions (e.g., Kumada, Negishi) and as a substrate for studying nucleophilic substitution reactions due to the reactive chloro group.
• Fragrance & Flavor Chemistry: Utilized in the research and synthesis of aromatic compounds where the heptyl chain contributes to specific scent profiles and volatility characteristics.
• Polymer Modification: Can be used to introduce functional side chains into polymers, altering physical properties like flexibility, solubility, or glass transition temperature.
