Description

5-Amino-2-Chlorobenyl Alcohol is a versatile aromatic amine-alcohol intermediate of significant importance in advanced organic synthesis. Its bifunctional structure, featuring both an amino and a hydroxyl group on a chlorinated benzene ring, makes it a critical building block for constructing complex molecules. This compound is primarily sought after by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors for the development of active ingredients and specialty chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for compounds targeting central nervous system disorders.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Building block for developing novel herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Dye and Pigment Manufacturing: Used in the production of complex azo dyes and high-performance organic pigments.
• Polymer Chemistry: Serves as a monomer or chain modifier in the synthesis of specialty polyamides and epoxy resins.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Intermediate for creating advanced electronic display materials and organic light-emitting diodes.
• Cross-coupling Reactions: Valuable substrate in palladium-catalyzed reactions like Suzuki and Buchwald-Hartwig amination for C-N bond formation.

Quality Control

Our 5-Amino-2-Chlorobenyl Alcohol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with full traceability are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its sensitivity to light and oxidation, prolonged exposure to air and light should be avoided. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
