Description

[(4-Dodecylphenyl)Methyl]Guanidinium Monoacetate is a specialized organic salt that combines a long-chain alkylphenyl group with a guanidinium cation. This unique structure makes it a valuable intermediate and functional additive in advanced material science and specialty chemical synthesis. It is particularly sought after by R&D and production teams in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and polymer industries for its role in modifying surface properties and acting as a phase-transfer catalyst or a precursor for more complex molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring lipophilic cation carriers or membrane permeability enhancers.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a surfactant or adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve adhesion and penetration on plant surfaces.
• Polymer Additive: Serves as a functional monomer or additive to impart specific characteristics like antistatic properties or improved compatibility in polymer blends.
• Phase-Transfer Catalyst (PTC): Facilitates reactions between reagents in immiscible phases (e.g., aqueous and organic) in synthetic organic chemistry.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Precursor: Used in the development of specialty corrosion inhibitors for industrial applications, leveraging its film-forming potential on metal surfaces.
• Research & Development: A key building block in academic and industrial R&D for creating novel cationic surfactants, ionic liquids, and bio-active compounds.

Quality Control

Our [(4-Dodecylphenyl)Methyl]Guanidinium Monoacetate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR and NMR for structural confirmation, and loss on drying to monitor moisture content. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with your specifications and relevant industry standards.

Storage

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