API & Intermediate

It is used as an intermediate and solvent in dyestuff, medicine, pesticide and organic synthesis.

Tetrahydrofuran is a heterocyclic organic compound, which belongs to ethers. It is a completely hydrogenated product of aromatic furan. Tetrahydrofuran is one of the strongest polar ethers. It is used as a medium polar solvent in chemical reaction and extraction. It is a colorless volatile liquid at room temperature and has a smell similar to ether. Soluble in water, ethanol, ether, acetone, benzene and other organic solvents, known as "universal solvent".

Glutaraldehyde is an important saturated straight chain aliphatic cluster binary aldehyde. Although there are many reports about the toxicity of glutaraldehyde, the crosslinking of glutaraldehyde has many advantages in clinical application, and has been accepted by chemical book. Although glutaraldehyde is widely used in pharmaceutical industry and biomedical field, its toxicity, irritation and environmental pollution can not be ignored.

It is a pharmaceutical intermediate for the synthesis of new sartan antihypertensive drugs, such as losartan, valsartan, ipsartan, irbesartan, etc.

Pentaerythritol, as a quaternary alcohol, is easy to be esterified to form acids and esters, so it is mostly used as raw material of alkyd resin coatings, mainly used as building coatings and automotive primer. Pentaerythritol tetranitrate can be obtained by esterification of pentaerythritol and concentrated nitric acid at 5 ~ 15 ℃ in industry. It is a kind of high-performance and strong explosive with higher explosive power than TNT. It is often used as booster or mixed with TNT. It was used extensively in the Second World War. It is a long-acting vasodilator and can treat angina pectoris. Pentaerythritol rosin ester can be prepared by the reaction of pentaerythritol and rosin acid. It can be mixed with dry oil to obtain a coating with good hardness, water resistance and weather resistance. It can be used for varnishes, floor inks, etc. An alkyd resin coating can be prepared by esterification polycondensation of pentaerythritol or glycerin with phthalic anhydride and fatty acid. The properties of alkyd resin can be improved by using different kinds and different amounts of fatty acids, making it suitable for various needs of coatings. It is widely used as metal, wood surface coating, for bridges, railways, derricks, housing construction and other commonly used industrial paint and architectural paint. Alkyd resin has developed rapidly since it entered industrial production in 1927 due to its low price, easy availability of raw materials, easy modification, strong adaptability and good comprehensiveness.
