Description

15-(4-Iodophenyl)Pentadecanoic Acid is a high-purity, iodinated long-chain fatty acid derivative, serving as a critical synthetic intermediate and research chemical. Its core value proposition lies in its unique molecular structure, which combines a hydrophobic alkyl chain with a reactive iodophenyl moiety, enabling precise chemical modifications and labeling. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors, particularly for developing targeted bioactive molecules and novel polymers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of novel drug candidates, especially in medicinal chemistry programs targeting metabolic and inflammatory pathways.
• Bioconjugation & Labeling: Used in the preparation of labeled probes and conjugates for biochemical research, diagnostics, and imaging applications due to the reactive iodine atom.
• Lipid Research: Serves as a standard or precursor in the study of lipid metabolism, membrane biophysics, and the development of lipid-based drug delivery systems.
• Polymer Science: Acts as a monomer or functionalizing agent for creating specialty polymers with specific hydrophobic or self-assembly properties.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Intermediate in the development of new-generation herbicides and plant growth regulators with enhanced selectivity.
• Material Science: Used in surface modification and the creation of advanced organic materials with tailored electronic or photonic characteristics.

Quality Control

Our 15-(4-Iodophenyl)Pentadecanoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment 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 place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed and away from direct light to maintain stability and purity. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
