Description

Chloroacetic Acid Compd. With 1-Tetradecanamine (1:1) is a high-purity organic salt formed from chloroacetic acid and myristylamine (1-tetradecanamine). This compound is valued for its dual functionality, serving as a versatile intermediate and a specialized surfactant or phase-transfer catalyst in demanding chemical syntheses. It is particularly sought after by manufacturers in the agrochemical, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical industries for producing quaternary ammonium compounds, emulsifiers, and corrosion inhibitors.

Application

• Agrochemical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of quaternary ammonium-based herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Used as a phase-transfer catalyst or building block in the manufacture of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and specialty drug formulations.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Production: Serves as a raw material for creating cationic surfactants with applications in fabric softeners, hair conditioners, and industrial emulsifiers.
• Corrosion Inhibition: Employed in the formulation of corrosion inhibitors for industrial water treatment systems and metalworking fluids.
• Polymer Additive: Acts as a catalyst or modifier in polymerization reactions and as an antistatic agent for plastics and synthetic fibers.
• Research & Development: A valuable reagent for organic synthesis and chemical research in academic and industrial laboratories.
