Description

1-Propanone, 2,2,3,3-Tetrafluoro-1-Phenyl- (9Ci) is a specialized fluorinated aromatic ketone, valued for its unique combination of a phenyl group and a perfluorinated alkyl chain. This structure makes it a versatile and reactive intermediate for introducing fluorinated moieties into target molecules, which is critical for modifying physical and chemical properties. It is primarily sought by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for applications in synthesis, catalysis, and material science.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly where fluorination is employed to enhance metabolic stability, bioavailability, or membrane permeability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key building block for developing new herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, leveraging fluorine's ability to increase biological activity and environmental persistence.
• Advanced Material Precursor: Acts as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the production of specialty polymers, coatings, and liquid crystals with enhanced thermal stability, chemical resistance, and unique optical properties.
• Organic Synthesis & Catalysis: Employed as a reagent in various fluorination reactions and as a substrate in catalytic processes to create complex, value-added fluoroorganic compounds.
• Research & Development: Essential for academic and industrial R&D labs exploring new reactions, material properties, and the effects of fluorination in medicinal and materials chemistry.

Quality Control

Our production of 1-Propanone, 2,2,3,3-Tetrafluoro-1-Phenyl- adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopy (NMR, IR, MS), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided and can be tailored to meet specific customer or regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent and highly volatile compound, keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents. Ensure containers are kept upright and properly sealed to prevent evaporation and moisture ingress.
