Description

2-[5-(4-Chlorophenyl)Pentyl]Oxirane-2-Carboxylic Acid is a specialized chiral intermediate featuring a reactive oxirane (epoxide) ring and a carboxylic acid functional group. This unique structure makes it a valuable building block for the synthesis of complex molecules, particularly in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors. It is primarily sought after by research chemists and process development scientists for the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and advanced crop protection agents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the synthesis of potential drug candidates, especially those targeting cardiovascular or central nervous system disorders.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of novel herbicides, fungicides, or plant growth regulators.
• Fine Chemical Production: Serves as a precursor for other high-value specialty chemicals, including liquid crystals or advanced polymers.
• Academic & Industrial Research: Employed in chemical biology and medicinal chemistry programs to explore new reaction pathways and biological activities.
• Custom Synthesis: A starting material for contract research organizations (CROs) and CDMOs performing bespoke synthesis for client projects.

Quality Control

Our production of 2-[5-(4-Chlorophenyl)Pentyl]Oxirane-2-Carboxylic Acid adheres to stringent in-process controls to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity. Every lot is fully characterized using advanced analytical techniques, including HPLC, GC, NMR, and mass spectrometry. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
