Description

3-[4-Hydroxy(2-Methylpropoxy)Phenyl]Acrylic Acid is a specialized acrylic acid derivative featuring a phenolic ether substituent, making it a valuable intermediate for advanced organic synthesis. This compound is crucial for the development of functional materials due to its reactive acrylic acid moiety and the steric influence of the isobutoxy chain. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical and specialty polymer industries for creating novel monomers, UV-absorbing agents, and advanced pharmaceutical intermediates.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring specific UV-absorbing or polymerizable properties.
• Specialty Monomer for Polymers: Used in the production of advanced acrylic polymers and copolymers, imparting unique characteristics like enhanced adhesion, specific refractive indices, or controlled release profiles.
• UV Absorber / Light Stabilizer Precursor: Serves as a core structure in the manufacture of organic compounds designed to protect materials from photodegradation.
• Liquid Crystal and OLED Material Synthesis: An intermediate in the development of organic electronic materials and display technologies.
• Cross-linking Agent: Utilized in formulations for coatings, adhesives, and resins where the acrylic group enables thermal or UV-induced curing.
• Research & Development: A versatile tool for academic and industrial research in medicinal chemistry, polymer science, and material science.

Quality Control

Our 3-[4-Hydroxy(2-Methylpropoxy)Phenyl]Acrylic Acid is produced under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR and NMR for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and moisture. We provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment to ensure 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 place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
