Description

2-Chloro-6-Methyl-Benzamidine is a high-purity organic intermediate featuring a benzamidine core structure substituted with chloro and methyl groups. This compound matters as a critical building block in the synthesis of more complex molecules, particularly in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists for creating novel active ingredients, including protease inhibitors and other biologically relevant compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key synthon for the development of small molecule drugs, particularly serine protease inhibitors.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the synthesis of novel herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Chemical Biology: Serves as a versatile scaffold in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
• Organic Synthesis: Acts as a precursor for heterocyclic compounds, such as imidazolines and benzimidazoles.
• Material Science: Potential monomer or additive in the research of specialty polymers and advanced materials.

Quality Control

Our 2-Chloro-6-Methyl-Benzamidine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed batch-specific data are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
