  • Applications

    CID 162268 (CAS 37609-25-9) is commonly used in research settings as an analytical reference standard and control material for method development, calibration, and validation (LC–MS/GC–MS, chromatography, spectroscopy), supporting quality control, impurity profiling, and stability studies; it also serves as a precursor or intermediate in organic synthesis to generate derivatives, optimize reaction conditions, and build compound libraries for screening; acts as a molecular scaffold for drug and agrochemical discovery, enabling SAR work, in vitro ADME, and tracer/labeling experiments when appropriate functional groups are available; is employed in toxicology and environmental science as a model compound to assess fate, degradation, and recovery across sampling/extraction workflows; and in materials research may be leveraged (where properties permit) as an additive, monomer, or surface modifier to tune durability, wettability, and adhesion; all applications should be guided by the compound’s specific physicochemical profile, accompanied by safety data, and performed in compliance with regulations, primarily for research use.
