The agricultural sector continually seeks innovative solutions to enhance crop yields and protect against pests and diseases. Central to this effort is the development of effective agrochemicals, which often rely on specialized chemical intermediates. 4-Chlorophenyl Isocyanate, identified by CAS number 104-12-1, is one such critical component. As a leading supplier of fine chemicals in China, we provide this versatile intermediate to agrochemical formulators and manufacturers worldwide, ensuring consistent quality and supply.

Understanding 4-Chlorophenyl Isocyanate for Agrochemical Use

4-Chlorophenyl Isocyanate is an organic compound characterized by its reactive isocyanate group (-N=C=O) and a chlorine atom attached to a phenyl ring. Its chemical formula is C7H4ClNO, and it typically presents as a white to yellow crystalline solid with a melting point around 26-29 °C. While its physical properties are important, its chemical reactivity is what makes it invaluable in agrochemical synthesis. Its moisture sensitivity means it requires careful storage and handling, a detail that experienced chemical manufacturers in China meticulously manage.

Applications in Crop Protection and Enhancement

The utility of 4-Chlorophenyl Isocyanate in the agrochemical industry is multifaceted:

  • Pesticide Synthesis: It serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various pesticides, including insecticides and herbicides. By reacting with amines or alcohols, it can form urea or carbamate linkages, which are common structural elements in many active ingredients used for crop protection. Agrochemical procurement managers can secure this essential raw material from our extensive supply network.
  • Formulation Enhancements: Beyond active ingredients, it can sometimes be used in the development of synergistic agents or stabilizers within agrochemical formulations, contributing to the overall efficacy and shelf-life of the final product.
  • Research and Development: For agrochemical R&D departments, having access to high-purity 4-Chlorophenyl Isocyanate from a trusted manufacturer like ourselves enables the exploration of new pesticidal compounds and formulation strategies.
