Product Information

• Name: 4-Chlorophenylglyoxal hydrate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Chlorophenylglyoxal hydrate is an antibacterial agent that is synthesized from glyoxal and chloroform. It has a nitro group, which confers antibacterial activity to the compound. 4-Chlorophenylglyoxal hydrate can be reused for up to five cycles without significant loss of its antibacterial activity. This compound has been shown to have high yields with methoxy groups and amines. Synthesis of this compound starts with the reaction of glyoxal and chloroform in an approximate 1:1 ratio. The reaction is carried out at a temperature between 40-60 degrees Celsius for approximately two hours, after which it is cooled to room temperature and filtered. The product is then purified by recrystallization.
