Product Overview
4-Chlorobutyryl Chloride 98% Extra Pure is a highly reactive acyl chloride widely used in organic synthesis for its ability to introduce the 4-chlorobutyryl moiety into target molecules. This extra pure grade ensures minimal impurities, making it ideal for applications requiring high precision and reproducibility. The compound is characterized by its sharp, pungent odor and is typically handled under inert conditions to prevent hydrolysis. Its high reactivity with nucleophiles, including amines, alcohols, and thiols, allows for efficient acylation reactions, forming amides, esters, and thioesters. The product is supplied in amber glass bottles to protect it from light-induced degradation, ensuring stability during storage. Due to its corrosive nature, proper handling with compatible lab equipment and protective gear is essential. The 98% purity level guarantees consistent performance in research and development settings, minimizing side reactions and maximizing yield. Whether used as a building block in multi-step synthesis or as a derivatizing agent, this reagent delivers reliable results for demanding laboratory applications.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of 4-Chlorobutyryl Chloride 98% Extra Pure?
When stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture and light, the product retains its purity for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Is this compound compatible with standard glassware?
Yes, but prolonged exposure may etch glass. Use borosilicate glassware and ensure it is dry before handling the reagent.
3. Can this be used as a substitute for other acyl chlorides?
It can replace similar-length acyl chlorides in many reactions, but the chlorine substituent may alter reactivity and product properties.
4. What precautions should be taken during storage?
Store tightly sealed in its original container under nitrogen or argon, away from heat, flames, and incompatible materials like water or alcohols.
5. How is the purity of this product verified?
The 98% purity is confirmed via gas chromatography (GC) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy as part of quality control.
