Description

Bis(Pentafluorophenyl)Zinc 97 is a highly reactive organozinc reagent, specifically a diarylzinc compound, known for its utility in advanced organic synthesis. Its core value lies in its ability to act as an efficient transmetalation agent and nucleophile for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, particularly in the presence of sensitive functional groups. This compound is essential for researchers and process chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors who require precise and efficient synthetic methodologies.

Application

• Cross-Coupling Reactions: A key reagent in Negishi, Kumada, and related palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of biaryl and polyfluorinated aromatic compounds.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate Synthesis: Used in the construction of complex drug molecules, especially those containing pentafluorophenyl or other fluorinated aryl groups, which can enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability.
• Material Science Precursor: Serves as a building block for the development of organic semiconductors, liquid crystals, and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with tailored electronic properties.
• Agrochemical Research: Employed in the synthesis of novel active ingredients where the introduction of fluorinated aromatic rings is desired for improved efficacy and environmental profile.
• Catalyst and Ligand Development: Used to prepare novel zinc-based catalysts or as a precursor for ligands in asymmetric catalysis.
• Polymer Chemistry: Can initiate or participate in polymerization reactions to create polymers with fluorinated side chains, imparting unique chemical resistance and surface properties.

Quality Control

Our Bis(Pentafluorophenyl)Zinc 97 is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high reactivity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analysis, including assay and impurity profiling, to meet the stringent requirements of research and process chemistry. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at 2-8°C or as specified on the label. Due to its moisture-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, the container should only be opened in a dry, oxygen-free environment such as a glovebox.
