Description

3-[(3-Trifluoromethyl)Phenyl]-1-Propene is a versatile fluorinated aromatic building block characterized by a reactive terminal alkene group. This compound is highly valued in advanced organic synthesis for introducing the trifluoromethylphenyl moiety, a key structural feature that can dramatically alter the physicochemical properties of target molecules. It is primarily sought after by research chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for the development of novel active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key synthon for the preparation of drug candidates, particularly those targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders, where the trifluoromethyl group can enhance metabolic stability and membrane permeability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of novel herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, leveraging the bioactivity-modifying effects of the fluorine atoms.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Serves as a precursor in the synthesis of fluorinated aromatic cores for electronic and optoelectronic materials, improving charge transport and thermal stability.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Employed as a monomer or cross-linking agent to incorporate fluorine into polymer backbones, enhancing chemical resistance, lowering surface energy, and improving durability.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Utilized in various cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Heck, Suzuki) and hydrofunctionalization reactions to create complex, fluorinated molecular architectures for research purposes.
• Fluorinated Surfactant & Coating Precursor: Acts as an intermediate for synthesizing specialty surfactants and surface treatment agents that require oil- and water-repellent properties.

Quality Control

Our 3-[(3-Trifluoromethyl)Phenyl]-1-Propene is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure high chemical purity and identity confirmation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles are available upon request. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our customers in regulated research and development.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be amber-colored or stored in dark conditions to prevent potential degradation.
