Over years of working in specialty chemicals, I have seen certain compounds attract strong demand among pharmaceuticals and agrochemical firms. 2-Chloro-4-Methoxybenzonitrile, with molecular formula C8H6ClNO, stands out as one of them. Its structure features a nitrile group sitting next to chloro and methoxy functional groups on a benzene ring. That combination sets up strong reactivity, making it useful for synthesizing intermediates in new drug research, pesticide raw materials, and other custom molecules.
Product specifications often focus on purity, assay, appearance (usually white to light yellow powder), melting point in the 68–72°C range, specific density near 1.25 g/cm³, and boiling point sitting over 280°C. Each batch should carry lot-specific COA, MSDS, and technical data (TDS), which deserves checking before large orders. The product’s HS Code usually connects to aromatic nitriles, making customs clearance smoother on both exports and imports.
China’s chemical manufacturers started ramping up production of 2-Chloro-4-Methoxybenzonitrile about a decade ago as global pharma buyers looked for cost-effective alternatives. Major suppliers run ISO 9001 and 14001-certified sites, often holding REACH pre-registration, Halal, Kosher, and SGS certificates. Factories offer raw material storage under strictly monitored temperature and humidity. With large orders, quality consistency stays sharp, as these facilities have invested in automatic control systems for every unit operation.
Purchase decisions always come down to supplier reliability and transparency. I have seen that best-in-class Chinese chemical producers don’t stop at listing “factory price” or bandying about “MOQ” (minimum order quantity). They send sample lots free of charge, provide comprehensive SDS and safe handling guides, and offer a competitive CIF or FOB quote. It’s this openness—plus supply chain documentation—that closes the trust gap.
Cost per kilogram varies on purity, quantity, and logistics. Factory price for bulk usually beats international brokers by 15–20%. Large-scale manufacture allows suppliers to handle both OEM and ODM orders with traceable batch records. Buyers should always ask for the latest production policy, compliance history, and any new updates about GHS label requirements or EU REACH status. These points help avoid costly import holdups.
On inquiry, most suppliers respond within 24 hours, sending CIF/FOB quotes with all required documentation, including reach, ISO, SGS, and kosher certifications if needed. For clients handling sensitive end products—pharma actives, electronic chemicals—third-party audit and on-site inspection reports add another layer of safety.
2-Chloro-4-Methoxybenzonitrile should get respect in storage and handling. SDS sheets flag it as harmful if inhaled or gets on skin, and it should not enter waterways. Well-run Chinese plants supply detailed spill response and disposal guidelines. They standardize labeling and packaging—fiber drums with PE-bags or IBC tanks for liquid solution material—to comply with international transportation law.
Producers that care about REACH registration, GHS labels, and transparent hazard communication help global buyers meet not just technical specs, but corporate responsibility goals. Avoiding shortcuts, especially about toxicity or safe storage, keeps both operators and communities safe.
Years spent sourcing and auditing plants have taught me that the right supplier for 2-Chloro-4-Methoxybenzonitrile never hides MSDS, COA, or pricing policy. Responsible production, frequent certification, and open communication don’t just protect a company’s business—they build real trust. In China’s competitive chemical market, those factors mark the difference between just another raw material and a partner you want to keep for the long haul.
