Description

2-Amino-2-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)Acetonitrile is a versatile and high-value organic intermediate characterized by its reactive nitrile and amino functional groups attached to a dichlorinated aromatic ring. This compound matters for its critical role as a key building block in the synthesis of complex molecules, particularly in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists for constructing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), advanced crop protection agents, and other fine chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial precursor in the synthesis of various drug candidates, particularly those targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders and other therapeutic areas.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key building block for developing novel herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, leveraging the dichlorophenyl moiety.
• Fine Chemical Production: Used in the manufacture of dyes, pigments, and other specialty chemicals requiring a dichloroaniline derivative.
• Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial labs for method development and exploring new chemical entities in medicinal chemistry.
• Peptide Mimetics: The amino acetonitrile structure makes it useful for creating non-natural amino acids and peptide analogs.

Quality Control

Our 2-Amino-2-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)Acetonitrile is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical and agrochemical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
