Description

3-(4-(Heptyloxy)Phenyl)Propanoic Acid is a high-purity organic intermediate featuring a phenylpropanoic acid core with a heptyloxy side chain. This specific molecular architecture makes it a valuable building block for synthesizing advanced materials and fine chemicals. It is primarily sought after by research institutions and industrial manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and liquid crystal industries for developing novel compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key synthon for the research and development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) analogs.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced herbicides and plant growth regulators, leveraging its lipophilic side chain for enhanced bioavailability.
• Liquid Crystal Materials: Serves as a precursor for mesogenic compounds in the manufacture of display technologies (LCDs) due to its rod-like molecular structure and terminal functional group.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Employed in coupling reactions (e.g., esterification, amidation) to introduce the 4-heptyloxyphenyl moiety into more complex molecular systems.
• Polymer Additive Precursor: Can be modified to create UV stabilizers, plasticizers, or other specialty additives for high-performance polymers.
• Research & Development: Essential compound for academic and industrial R&D in medicinal chemistry and material science.

Quality Control

Our 3-(4-(Heptyloxy)Phenyl)Propanoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets stringent specifications for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to exclude moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
