For more than 60 years, ANGUS chemistries have been used as building blocks, intermediates and synthesis solvents by leading agrochemical manufacturers to help meet the increasing challenge of feeding the world’s population. ANGUS chemistries offer unique utility and value by providing the reactivity to efficiently create complex molecules, reduce reaction steps and optimize synthesis costs.
Whether you are producing pesticides, herbicides, insecticides or other agrochemicals, you need to ensure exacting biologic activity of your active ingredient, which means every step must be tightly controlled, starting with the reagents and building blocks. ANGUS chemistries are produced in ISO-certified facilities with tightly controlled processes to ensure quality, performance and supply chain security.
Leverage our deep synthesis and applications expertise to help you explore the potential of nitroalkane chemistries to grow your business today while improving yields to help meet the world’s nutrition needs of tomorrow.
- Building blocks and intermediates for active ingredient (AI) synthesis
- Effective precursors to create highly substituted alkanes and alkenes, and other compounds
- Reagents to conduct synthetic transformations under mild conditions
- Cost-effective synthetic feedstocks
