Description

2-(Perfluorobutanoyl)Cyclopentanone is a specialized fluorinated organic compound, identified by CAS NO 141478-83-3, that serves as a high-value intermediate in advanced chemical synthesis. Its unique perfluorinated acyl group attached to a cyclopentanone core makes it a critical building block for introducing fluorinated motifs, which are prized for their ability to dramatically alter the physical and chemical properties of target molecules. This compound is essential for research and development chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors who require precise fluorination to develop new products with enhanced stability, bioavailability, or surface activity.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to improve metabolic stability and membrane permeability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Building block for creating novel fluorinated pesticides and herbicides with increased efficacy and environmental persistence.
• Advanced Material Development: Used in the research and production of fluorinated polymers, coatings, and liquid crystals for enhanced chemical resistance and unique optical properties.
• Organic Electronics: Intermediate in the development of fluorinated semiconductors and charge-transport materials for OLEDs and other electronic devices.
• Fluorinated Surfactant & Lubricant Research: Serves as a starting material for synthesizing specialty surfactants and high-performance lubricants with superior thermal and chemical stability.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A valuable reagent for methodological development in organic chemistry, particularly in studies involving fluorination, ketone chemistry, and cyclopentane ring systems.

Quality Control

Every batch of 2-(Perfluorobutanoyl)Cyclopentanone is manufactured and analyzed under strict quality management protocols to ensure consistency and purity for demanding synthetic applications. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay purity and impurity profiles. Our quality systems are designed to support cGMP and ISO standards for traceability and reliability, making this material suitable for regulated research and scale-up processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to the reactive ketone and fluorinated functional groups, this material should be kept under an inert atmosphere if long-term storage is required and separated from strong bases and reducing agents.
