Description

Picolinic Acid, 4-(2-Hydroxyethoxy)-, 1-Oxide (7Ci) is a functionalized derivative of picolinic acid, characterized by a hydroxethoxy side chain and an N-oxide group, which significantly alters its solubility and metal-chelating properties. This compound is valued for its role as a versatile intermediate in the synthesis of more complex molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process development teams in the fine chemical, pharmaceutical, and crop protection industries for creating novel active ingredients and ligands.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key building block in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those requiring enhanced solubility or specific metal-binding pharmacophores.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of new herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators that utilize chelating mechanisms.
• Metal Chelation & Catalysis: Serves as a precursor for ligands in catalytic systems or in applications requiring specific metal ion sequestration.
• Chemical Research: Employed in academic and industrial laboratories for studying structure-activity relationships and developing new synthetic methodologies.
• Coordination Chemistry: Useful for preparing metal complexes with potential applications in materials science or as biochemical probes.

Quality Control

Our Picolinic Acid, 4-(2-Hydroxyethoxy)-, 1-Oxide (7Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets exacting R&D and process chemistry standards. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect stability and handling properties.
