Description

Bis(Hexafluoroisopropyl) Carbonate is a highly fluorinated organic carbonate ester, a key building block in advanced chemical synthesis. This compound matters for its role as a versatile reagent for introducing the hexafluoroisopropyloxy (HFIP-O) group, which imparts unique properties like enhanced lipophilicity and metabolic stability to target molecules. It is primarily needed by R&D and production chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty materials industries for creating novel fluorinated compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to improve bioavailability and membrane permeability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key reagent for creating novel fluorinated pesticides and herbicides with enhanced efficacy and environmental profiles.
• Polymer & Material Science: Acts as a monomer or modifying agent for producing fluorinated polycarbonates and other high-performance polymers with superior chemical and thermal resistance.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Employed in the development of fluorinated components for electronic displays to optimize performance and stability.
• Surface Modification Reagent: Used to introduce fluorinated groups onto surfaces, creating hydrophobic, oleophobic, or low-energy coatings.
• Protecting Group Chemistry: Functions as a protecting group for alcohols and phenols in complex multi-step organic syntheses, particularly where fluorinated characteristics are beneficial.

Quality Control

Our Bis(Hexafluoroisopropyl) Carbonate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure high purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 highly volatile nature and sensitivity to fluoride/strong alkali, keep away from heat, open flames, and incompatible materials. Use under inert atmosphere if prolonged storage or handling is required to prevent moisture uptake or degradation.
