9-Methyl-1,2,3,9-tetrahydro-4H-carbazol-4-one (9-Methyl Carbazolone) is the primary Key Starting Material (KSM) for the industrial synthesis of Ondansetron (Zofran). Sourcing high-purity KSM directly influences the reaction efficiency of the subsequent amine condensation and final API yield.
We manufacture 9-Methyl Carbazolone with an HPLC purity of ≥99.0%, controlled via strict gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods. Impurity thresholds are strictly kept within pharmacopeia limits. Batch COA, MSDS, and HPLC chromatograms are standard with all shipments.
Sourced from our ISO-compliant manufacturing plant in Karnataka, India, it is packed in standard 25 kg HDPE fiber drums with double polythene bags. We offer custom packaging, scaling up to multi-ton commercial contracts with robust lead-time commitments.
Comprehensive chemical specs, catalytic pathways, and quality compliance guidelines for raw materials sourcing.
9-Methyl Carbazolone (9-methyl-1,2,3,9-tetrahydro-4H-carbazol-4-one) is synthesized by the N-methylation of 1,2,3,9-tetrahydrocarbazolone using methylating agents such as dimethyl sulfate or methyl iodide under basic phase-transfer conditions.
It is the immediate precursor to the API Ondansetron. The compound is reacted with formaldehyde and 2-methylimidazole in a Mannich-type reaction to form the final Ondansetron structure. Its high purity is essential to minimize drug-substance impurities.
We manufacture 9-Methyl Carbazolone to a purity of ≥99.0% by HPLC, with strict controls on residual solvents and N-demethylated impurities (less than 0.2%).
It is stored in fiber drums under cool, dry conditions. Sourcing packages include full chromatographic validation.
Avoid exposure. Wear appropriate protective clothing, gloves, and safety goggles. Ensure local exhaust ventilation is operational.
