Description

Benzofuran, 6-Fluoro-2-Methyl- (9Ci) CAS NO 139313-87-4 is a high-purity fluorinated benzofuran derivative, a key building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in its unique molecular structure, which enables the introduction of both benzofuran and fluorine motifs into target molecules, a critical step in developing compounds with enhanced biological activity and physicochemical properties. This intermediate is essential for research and development chemists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, particularly for creating novel active ingredients and fine chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a crucial precursor in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, especially those targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders, anti-inflammatory agents, and antimicrobial compounds.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of next-generation pesticides and herbicides, where the fluorine atom can improve metabolic stability and bioavailability.
• Material Science Research: Acts as a monomer or building block for creating specialized polymers, liquid crystals, and organic electronic materials with tailored optical and electronic properties.
• Fluorine Chemistry Studies: A valuable reagent for academic and industrial research focused on understanding structure-activity relationships (SAR) in fluorinated heterocyclic compounds.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the custom synthesis of complex, high-value specialty chemicals for various industrial applications.

Quality Control

Every batch of 6-Fluoro-2-methylbenzofuran is produced under strict quality management protocols. Our products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high chemical purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
