Description

4-(Furan-3-Yl)Benzoic Acid is a high-purity organic building block that combines a benzoic acid moiety with a furan heterocycle. This unique bifunctional structure makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing advanced materials and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It is primarily sought by research and development chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science industries for creating novel compounds with targeted properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key precursor in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders or acting as enzyme inhibitors.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of new herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, leveraging the furan ring's bioactivity.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Material Research: Acts as a core building block for creating conjugated organic molecules used in electronic displays and optoelectronic devices.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Incorporated into polymer chains to introduce rigidity, thermal stability, or specific chemical functionality for advanced material applications.
• Coordination Chemistry & Ligand Design: The carboxylic acid and furan oxygen provide chelating sites for metal ions, useful in catalyst and sensor development.
• Academic & Contract Research: Employed in university and CRO laboratories for methodological studies and the exploration of new chemical spaces.

Quality Control

Every batch of 4-(Furan-3-Yl)Benzoic Acid is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure compliance with relevant industry standards, and comprehensive analytical testing is performed using techniques including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical R&D and scale-up processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
