Description

3-Butenylurea is a versatile organic compound featuring a reactive terminal alkene group attached to a urea moiety. This unique bifunctional structure makes it a valuable building block in organic synthesis and specialty chemical manufacturing. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and industrial manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and polymer sectors for the development of novel compounds and materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and novel drug candidates, particularly those requiring functionalized urea or amine backbones.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and production of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators, leveraging its reactive sites for molecular diversification.
• Polymer Modification: Acts as a cross-linking agent or a functional monomer for producing specialty polymers, resins, and coatings with enhanced properties.
• Chemical Research: Employed in academic and industrial R&D labs as a versatile scaffold for heterocyclic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and material science projects.
• Bioconjugation Reagent: Utilized in biochemical applications for modifying proteins, peptides, or other biomolecules via reactions targeting the alkene or urea functional groups.

Quality Control

Our 3-Butenylurea is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation, purity assay, and impurity profiling. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
