Description

3,4-Dibromopentafluorobutyryl Chloride is a highly reactive fluorinated organic intermediate, specifically an acid chloride derivative. This compound is valued for its ability to introduce both bromine and fluorine functionalities into target molecules, enabling the synthesis of complex, high-performance materials. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for constructing novel compounds with tailored properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for synthesizing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring fluorinated and brominated motifs to modulate bioavailability and metabolic stability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides where the introduction of fluorine and bromine atoms enhances biological activity and environmental persistence.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Material Precursor: Serves as a critical monomer for creating fluorinated components in electronic display materials, improving dielectric anisotropy and thermal stability.
• Polymer Modification Agent: Employed to functionalize polymers, imparting flame retardancy, oil/water repellency, and chemical resistance through surface or backbone fluorination.
• Specialty Chemical Research: Utilized in academic and industrial R&D labs for exploring new reaction pathways and creating novel fluorinated compounds for various high-tech applications.

Quality Control

Every batch of 3,4-Dibromopentafluorobutyryl Chloride is manufactured and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure consistency and reliability for your synthetic processes. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as purity, identity, and impurity profiles. Our quality systems are designed to support cGMP and ISO standards for advanced chemical intermediates.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, containers should be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) when not in use to prevent hydrolysis. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C.
