HS 2915900090

Product name: Pivalic acid
CAS No.: 75-98-9
Molecular formula: C5H10O2
Applications:
Core Industrial Applications (four major sectors)
1. Pharmaceutical industry (largest essential demand)
1. Pivaloyl chloride preparation: semi-synthetic penicillin (ampicillin), cefazolin and cefradine core acylation feedstock; glucocorticoid (prednisone, fluocortolone) intermediates improving drug lipophilicity and duration;
2. Drug protecting group: pivaloyl protection of amino/hydroxyl in peptide and heterocyclic synthesis — easy removal, few side reactions;
3. Dermatology and tuberculosis treatment drug synthesis building blocks.
2. Agrochemical intermediates
• Herbicide: dedicated feedstock for clomazone;
• Insecticide: pirimicarb (carbamate systemic insecticide) synthesis feedstock; pivalate pesticides resist rain wash-off with longer efficacy.
3. Polymers & materials
1. Peroxide polymerization initiators (TBPP, tert-butyl pivalate): efficient low-temperature initiators for styrene, acrylic and PVC polymerization — more stable than benzoyl peroxide;
2. PVC heat stabilizers, premium coating anti-yellowing aids, lubricant antioxidant additives;
3. Liquid adhesives and photosensitive material functional monomers.
4. Fragrance & fine chemicals
Pivalate fruit fragrances (apple, be
