Description

2,4-Difluorophenyl Acetic Acid CAS NO 141060-00-6 is a versatile fluorinated aromatic building block essential for advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in the strategic placement of fluorine atoms on the phenyl ring, which significantly influences the electronic properties and metabolic stability of target molecules. This compound is primarily needed by pharmaceutical and agrochemical research and development teams for creating novel active ingredients, as well as by manufacturers of specialty chemicals and liquid crystal materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key synthon in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for drugs targeting the central nervous system, anti-inflammatory agents, and other therapeutic molecules where fluorine substitution is beneficial.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides, where the difluorophenyl moiety enhances biological activity and environmental persistence.
• Liquid Crystal Materials: Serves as a precursor for fluorinated liquid crystal compounds used in high-performance displays (LCDs) due to its ability to modify dielectric anisotropy and viscosity.
• Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs): Acts as a building block for electron-transport or host materials in OLED devices, leveraging fluorine's electron-withdrawing characteristics.
• Specialty Polymer Modifier: Incorporated into polymer chains to impart specific properties such as enhanced chemical resistance, thermal stability, or altered solubility.
• Chemical Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new reactions, catalytic processes, and the development of novel fluorinated compounds.

Quality Control

Our 2,4-Difluorophenyl Acetic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for sensitive synthesis applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurity profile, and physical characteristics is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and handling properties.
