Description

m-Cresol, 4-Amino-6-Nitro- (5Ci) is a specialized aromatic compound featuring both amino and nitro functional groups on a cresol backbone. This unique structure makes it a valuable high-purity intermediate for synthesizing complex molecules in advanced research and development. It is primarily sought after by pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and dyestuff industries for the production of active ingredients and functional colorants.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for compounds requiring specific cresol-derived pharmacophores.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of advanced pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides where its bifunctional nature allows for targeted molecular design.
• Dyestuff and Pigment Production: Serves as a precursor for azo dyes and other complex organic pigments, contributing to color fastness and specific hue properties.
• Chemical Research & Development: An important reagent in organic synthesis for academic and industrial R&D labs exploring new heterocyclic compounds and material science applications.
• Specialty Chemical Manufacturing: Employed in the production of performance chemicals, such as corrosion inhibitors or polymer modifiers, that benefit from its specific aromatic structure.

Quality Control

Every batch of m-Cresol, 4-Amino-6-Nitro- (5Ci) is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure compliance with relevant industry standards for high-purity intermediates. Comprehensive testing includes identity confirmation, purity assay, and impurity profiling. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are provided with each shipment and are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
