Ethyl 5-Amino-2-cyanobenzoate CAS 908334-10-1 98% Off-White to Light Yellow Crystalline Powder Pharmaceutical Intermediate Benzamide Precursor

1. Product Overview

Ethyl 5-amino-2-cyanobenzoate (CAS: 908334-10-1), also known as ethyl 5-amino-2-cyanobenzoate or 5-amino-2-cyano-benzoic acid ethyl ester, is a benzenoid bearing both amino (-NH₂) and cyano (-CN) substituents ortho to each other, with an ethyl ester at the carboxyl position. It is supplied as an off-white to light yellow crystalline powder and serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of quinazolinone, benzimidazole, and other N-heterocyclic pharmacophores. Each lot is accompanied by a CoA including HPLC assay and ¹H NMR verification.

2. Key Features and Advantages

• High Purity: ≥98.0% (HPLC), suitable for multi-step pharmaceutical synthesis

• Fully Characterized: Confirmed by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and LC-MS; CoA provided per batch

• Versatile Reactivity: Amino group for diazotization/cyclization; cyano for heterocycle formation (e.g. cyclization to quinazolines); ester for hydrolysis/reduction

• Low Residual Impurities: Controlled residual solvents and moisture per ICH Q3 guidelines

• Flexible Packaging: Available in 100 mg / 250 mg / 500 mg / 1 g / 5 g / 10 g / 25 g; bulk on request

• Batch Traceability: Individually lot-numbered with retained sample for re-test

3. Main Applications

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Building block for quinazolinone-, quinazoline-, and benzimidazole-based drug candidates (kinase inhibitors, antifungals)

• Heterocyclic Synthesis: Used in Gould–Jacobs / Conrad–Limpach type cyclizations and nucleophilic aromatic substitution sequences

• Fine Chemical R&D: Intermediate for dyes, fluorescent probes, and specialty aromatic compounds

• Process Chemistry: Scalable intermediate for API pilot campaigns

5. Storage and Handling

• Recommended Storage: Store sealed in a cool, dry place (15–25 °C), protected from light. For long-term storage (>12 months), keep in a desiccator.

• Stability: Stable under dry, ambient conditions. Protect from moisture — the ester may slowly hydrolyze in the presence of water, especially under acidic/basic conditions.

• Handling Precautions: Use in a well-ventilated area. Wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Avoid dust generation.

• Shelf Life: 24 months from date of manufacture when stored as recommended.

6. Safety Overview

• GHS Classification: GHS07 – Warning
