In focus: Potassium 2-nitrophenolate
Potassium 2-nitrophenolate is characterized by its distinct orange color. This molecule is an important raw material in manufacture of intermediates that are further used to make APIs, Agrochemicals, and Colorants.
In focus: Carbon tetrabromide (CBr₄)
A colorless crystalline solid. Much denser than water and insoluble in water but soluble in chloroform and ethanol. Toxic by ingestion. Vapors are narcotic in high concentration. It is commonly employed as an electron acceptor in organic synthesis reactions. Carbon tetrabromide is also an efficient catalyst for regioselective ring opening of epoxides with alcohols.
In focus: Potassium Iodide (KI)
Potassium iodide is an inorganic chemical compound which is denoted by the chemical formula KI. It is a metal-halide salt featuring an ionic bond between the potassium cation (K+) and the iodide anion (I–). It is colourless to white, it appears as powder or white granules. It has a highly bitter, saline taste.
In focus: 2-Bromonitrobenzene
2-Bromonitrobenzene is an aromatic compound and a pale-yellow powder that easily absorbs moisture. By virtue of its rather low melting point, it may appear as semi-liquid under high ambient temperatures. The nitro-group containing haloaromatic has numerous end-uses in pharmaceuticals, value-added intermediates, and other industry verticals.
In focus: Phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5)
Phosphorus pentoxide is a chemical compound used in a wide variety of applications as a building block and a reagent in the chemical industry. This white fine powder is the anhydride of phosphoric acid. It is a powerful desiccant and dehydrating agent.
In focus: Sodium Xylene Sulfonate 90% – powder
Sodium Xylene Sulfonate is a hydrotrope used to solubilise hydrophobic compounds and in aqueous solutions as well in the study of liposome systems. Sodium Xylene Sulfonate solution may be used in chemical synthesis studies.
2022 | How the pharma industry is shaping up for the future
Given the evolving on-ground situation and newer variant-led infections, the pandemic is far from over. In such a scenario, for businesses to stay relevant, we will need to be flexible and more adaptable to the changes that need to be embraced to keep core business growth drivers resilient.
In focus: γ-Butyrolactone (GBL)
γ-Butyrolactone (GBL) is a hygroscopic colorless, water-miscible liquid with a weak characteristic odor. It is the simplest 4-carbon lactone. It is mainly used as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals, e.g., methyl-2-pyrrolidone. In humans GBL acts as a prodrug for γ-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), and it is used as a recreational CNS depressant with effects like those of barbiturates.
