Description

Tricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]Decane-1,3,5,7-Tetracarboxaldehyde is a highly functionalized, symmetrical aldehyde derivative of adamantane, a classic diamondoid hydrocarbon. This compound matters as a versatile and rigid tetrafunctional building block for synthesizing advanced materials and complex molecular architectures. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced polymer industries for creating novel compounds with enhanced thermal and chemical stability.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a core scaffold for developing novel drug candidates, particularly for central nervous system (CNS) and antiviral therapies, leveraging the adamantane moiety's lipophilicity and metabolic stability.
• Cross-linking Agent for Polymers: Used to create high-performance, thermosetting resins and coatings with excellent thermal stability and mechanical strength due to its four reactive aldehyde groups.
• Ligand and Catalyst Precursor: Acts as a starting material for synthesizing multidentate ligands used in catalysis and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Dendrimer and Hyperbranched Polymer Synthesis: Functions as a perfect tetrafunctional core monomer for constructing precise, three-dimensional dendritic macromolecules.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed in the research and development of new crop protection agents with improved environmental persistence and efficacy.
• Material Science Research: Investigated for creating novel organic semiconductors, nonlinear optical (NLO) materials, and porous organic polymers.

Quality Control

Our Tricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]Decane-1,3,5,7-Tetracarboxaldehyde is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and FT-IR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment. We support cGMP and ISO 9001 standards for research and development applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C for long-term stability. This material is easily oxidized and light-sensitive. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
