Description

Cyclohexanecarboxylic Acid, 1-Isocyano-, Ethyl Ester (9Ci) is a specialized organic building block that combines a cyclohexane ring with both an isocyano and an ester functional group. This unique structure makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing complex molecules in advanced research and development. It is primarily sought after by pharmaceutical and agrochemical R&D teams for constructing novel heterocyclic compounds and active ingredients. The compound is supplied with full traceability under CAS No. 97846-69-0.

Application

This versatile isocyanide ester is a key reagent in modern synthetic chemistry, enabling the construction of complex molecular architectures. Its primary applications include:

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a critical building block in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly for creating heterocyclic cores prevalent in medicinal chemistry.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the development of new pesticides and herbicides, where its structural motifs can contribute to novel modes of action.
• Material Science: Acts as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the research of specialty polymers and advanced materials.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A valuable tool for chemists exploring multicomponent reactions (MCRs) like the Ugi and Passerini reactions, where isocyanides are essential.
• Chemical Synthesis: Employed in the preparation of peptidomimetics, foldamers, and other complex organic molecules requiring the introduction of the isocyano group.

Quality Control

Our Cyclohexanecarboxylic Acid, 1-Isocyano-, Ethyl Ester (9Ci) is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for your critical R&D and scale-up processes. All products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to verify identity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation 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 highly volatile and light-sensitive nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and potential degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
