N-Butyl Chloride is a key building block for a range of applications, offering a convenient way of adding C4 side chains. n-Butyl Chloride is a major component in a variety of catalyst systems for the polymer industry. This includes organo-lithium products (n-BuLi), alkyl magnesium products, and other organometallic systems (Ziegler-Natta). It is also widely used in agrochemical and pharmaceutical synthesis. Additionally it is finding a new use in the catalysis of refinery alkylation processes.
Typical Applications
It is not only a simple organic molecule. This versatile alkyl chloride is essential for a variety of different end-products and applications. As major component in organo lithium products (n-BuLi), plastics and rubber additives, different catalysts like alkyl magnesium products (Grignard) and polymerization catalysts (Ziegler-Natta) for polyolefins and agrochemical & pharmaceuticals, it offers a broad applicability.
