Description

4-(3-Chlorophenyl)Benzyl Alcohol is a versatile aromatic alcohol building block of significant interest in advanced organic synthesis. Its molecular structure, featuring both a benzyl alcohol group and a chlorinated phenyl ring, makes it a valuable intermediate for constructing more complex chemical architectures. This compound is particularly sought after by research and development teams in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors for the creation of novel active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key precursor in the synthesis of potential drug candidates, particularly those targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders or possessing anti-inflammatory properties.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a building block for developing new herbicides, fungicides, or plant growth regulators, leveraging the bioactivity of the chlorinated aromatic system.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Material Research: Used in the development of novel organic electronic materials, where its rigid, substituted biphenyl core can contribute to desired mesogenic or emissive properties.
• Polymer & Resin Modifier: Functions as a monomer or chain terminator in specialty polymer synthesis, introducing specific functional groups to alter material properties like adhesion, flexibility, or chemical resistance.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Employed in academic and industrial laboratories for constructing complex molecules via reactions such as etherification, esterification, or cross-coupling.
• Dye & Pigment Intermediate: Acts as a starting material for synthesizing specialized dyes and pigments, where the chlorine atom can influence color fastness and spectral properties.

Quality Control

Our 4-(3-Chlorophenyl)Benzyl Alcohol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its nature as an alcohol that is easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere), it is recommended to keep the container under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening for long-term storage to maintain product integrity. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
