Answers for every chemical we supply

4-Aminophenol is an API intermediate. Its main uses are:

• Key starting material for Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) API by acetylation
• Intermediate for dyes and oxidative hair-colour chemistry
• Photographic developer and fine-chemical synthesis
• Building block for other analgesic and specialty molecules

See the 4-Aminophenol product page for full details.

The CAS number of 4-Aminophenol is 123-30-8. Its molecular formula is C₆H₇NO, with a molecular weight of 109.13 g/mol. It is also known as p-Aminophenol, PAP, 4-Hydroxyaniline.

Pharma (Paracetamol) grade, technical grade. If you need a particular pharmacopoeia, particle size or in-house specification, send it with your enquiry and we will confirm availability. A batch COA and SDS are shared with every order.

Packing: 25 kg HDPE-lined bags or fibre drums. Storage: Cool, dry, well-closed; protect from light and air.

Appearance: White to off-white or light-pink crystalline powder; darkens on exposure to air and light. Melting point: approx. 186–189 °C.

4-Aminophenol slowly oxidises when exposed to air and light, forming coloured products. That is why it should be kept in well-closed packs, away from light, and used soon after opening. Colour and appearance are often part of the purchase specification for pharma grade.

Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is made by acetylating 4-aminophenol, usually with acetic anhydride. Because pharmacopoeias set a tight limit on residual 4-aminophenol in paracetamol, the purity and impurity profile of the starting material matter a great deal.

Salicylic Acid is an API intermediate. Its main uses are:

• Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) and methyl salicylate synthesis
• Keratolytic, anti-acne and anti-dandruff dermatology products
• Exfoliants, face washes and shampoos in personal care

Packing: 25 kg bags. Storage: Dry, well-closed containers away from moisture and light.

Appearance: White crystalline powder or fine needles. Melting point: approx. 158–161 °C.

No. Aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid, which is made by acetylating salicylic acid. Salicylic acid itself is used directly in skin-care and dermatology products and as an intermediate for aspirin and methyl salicylate.

Pharmacopoeial (IP, BP or USP) grade is the usual choice for dermatology and personal-care formulations, as it comes with defined limits for purity and impurities. Technical grade is meant for industrial and chemical uses.

Guaiacol is an API intermediate. Its main uses are:

• Starting material for the expectorant API Guaifenesin

Packing: 200 kg drums; smaller packs on request. Storage: Tightly closed, cool place, protected from light.

Appearance: Colourless to pale-yellow liquid or crystals (melts near 28 °C). Boiling point: approx. 205 °C.

Guaiacol melts at about 28 °C, so it can arrive as a liquid, a solid or a mix of both depending on the temperature. Drums can be warmed gently to melt the contents fully before sampling and use.

Guaifenesin is 3-(2-methoxyphenoxy)propane-1,2-diol. It is made by reacting guaiacol with a three-carbon partner such as glycidol or 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol, so guaiacol quality directly affects the impurity profile of the API.

Hydroxylamine Sulfate is a fine chemical. Its main uses are:

• Oxime formation from aldehydes and ketones

Thionyl chloride is listed in Schedule 3 of the Chemical Weapons Convention, so purchases may need an end-use declaration. It is also a dangerous good for transport – UN 1836, Class 8 (corrosive).

It reacts violently with water, releasing hydrogen chloride and sulfur dioxide gases. Use it only in dry, well-ventilated areas with suitable protective equipment, keep containers tightly closed, and use compatible materials of construction. See the SDS for full details.

Converting a carboxylic acid to an acid chloride with thionyl chloride gives off sulfur dioxide and hydrogen chloride as gases. Because they leave the reaction, work-up is simple – but the off-gas needs to be scrubbed.

2,6-Dimethylaniline is acylated with chloroacetyl chloride to form a chloroacetamide intermediate, which then reacts with diethylamine to give lidocaine. The same chemistry is used for related anilide local anaesthetics.

It is a toxic and corrosive dangerous good – UN 1752, Class 6.1 with a subsidiary Class 8 hazard. It is a strong irritant and reacts with water, alcohols and bases, so it must be kept dry and handled with full protective equipment.

It works at low levels – usually about 0.5–5% – by rapidly drawing in water and swelling, which breaks the tablet apart quickly. Ordinary disintegrants such as starch typically need much higher amounts.

Both are common. In wet granulation it is often split between the granules (intra-granular) and the final blend (extra-granular) to give fast break-up of both the tablet and the granules. In direct compression it is simply blended in.
