Description

Ethanone, 1-Cyclodecyl-2-Fluoro- (9Ci) is a specialized fluorinated ketone building block, identified by CAS NO 122128-58-9. This compound is valued for its unique structural motif combining a bulky cyclodecyl group with a reactive fluorine atom adjacent to the carbonyl, making it a versatile intermediate in advanced synthetic chemistry. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for constructing complex molecules and exploring novel structure-activity relationships.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthon in the research and development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for introducing fluorinated, lipophilic moieties.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the creation of novel herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides where the fluorinated cyclodecyl structure can enhance biological activity and environmental stability.
• Advanced Material Research: Acts as a precursor in the development of specialty polymers, liquid crystals, or organic electronic materials requiring specific steric and electronic properties.
• Chemical Biology & Probe Development: Utilized in the synthesis of molecular probes and tags for studying biological systems, leveraging the fluorine atom as a potential NMR or PET tracer.
• Catalyst & Ligand Design: Employed as a building block for creating novel chiral ligands or organocatalysts in asymmetric synthesis.
• Flavor & Fragrance Chemistry: Potential use in the synthesis of high-value, long-lasting fragrance ingredients due to its complex hydrocarbon skeleton.
