Thermo Scientific™ Adipoyl dichloride ≥98%

Adipoyl dichloride is a reactive diacid chloride compound widely used in the synthesis of polyamides (nylons), polyesters, and other specialty polymers. It also serves as an acylating agent in organic synthesis, especially in condensation and coupling reactions.

Supplied at ≥98% purity, this Thermo Scientific grade features low moisture (≤0.02%) and minimal chlorine impurity (≤0.003%), ensuring high reactivity and minimal by-product formation. The clear, colorless liquid is highly moisture-sensitive and reacts violently with water, producing hydrogen chloride gas, necessitating careful handling under dry, inert conditions.

Commonly used in interfacial polymerization, adipoyl dichloride enables the formation of high-strength polymers, making it essential in industrial materials science, polymer R&D, and fine chemical manufacturing.
