Description

2,3,6-Trifluorobenzyl Bromide is a high-purity fluorinated benzyl bromide derivative, serving as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in its ability to introduce a reactive benzyl bromide moiety with a specific trifluorinated substitution pattern, enabling precise molecular construction. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials science industries who require reliable, high-quality intermediates for developing novel active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for drugs targeting the central nervous system and anti-infectives.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in creating advanced herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides where the trifluoromethyl group enhances biological activity and stability.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Serves as a building block for fluorine-containing compounds used in electronic display technologies and organic light-emitting diodes.
• Functional Material Development: Employed in research to develop novel polymers, ligands for catalysis, and specialty chemicals with tailored properties.
• Cross-Coupling Reactions: An effective electrophile in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Suzuki, Heck) for constructing complex biaryl structures.
• Radiolabeling Precursor: Potential use as a starting material for synthesizing compounds labeled with isotopes for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging.

Quality Control

Our 2,3,6-Trifluorobenzyl Bromide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
