Overview of Phthalimide
Phthalimide (C₈H₅NO₂) is an aromatic imide widely used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemical production. It appears as a white crystalline solid and is valued for its stability, high purity, and reactivity in various chemical transformations.
In industrial applications, Phthalimide is extensively used in the synthesis of amines, herbicides, and pharmaceutical intermediates. It is often used alongside Phthalic Acid, Phthalic Anhydride, and Hydrazine Hydrate, available on ChemicalBull, providing a complete solution for industrial and specialty chemical manufacturing.
