Valrocemide(CAS: 92262-58-3)

Valrocemide (CAS: 92262-58-3) is a crystalline compound with a molecular weight of approximately 342.43 g/mol. It has a high solubility in organic solvents like ethanol and methanol, but is poorly soluble in water. Chemically, it is reactive towards nucleophiles and can undergo substitution reactions. Its melting point is around 180°C.

Valrocemide is synthesized via a multi-step process involving the condensation of a primary amine and a carboxylic acid, followed by amination. Common catalysts include triethylamine, and the reaction typically yields a product with 90-95% selectivity. The process is optimized for high yield and purity.

Valrocemide is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry as an intermediate in the synthesis of certain drugs. It is also applied in the polymer industry for enhancing the mechanical properties of polymers. Additionally, it has potential use in the development of sensors and semiconductors due to its unique chemical properties.

When handling Valrocemide, it is essential to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves and safety goggles. Work should be conducted in a well-ventilated area or a fume hood to avoid inhalation. Spills should be immediately cleaned up with appropriate absorbent materials and the area should be thoroughly washed down. The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) should be consulted for detailed safety information.
