Description

Oxetane, 2,2,3,3,4-Pentafluoro- (9Ci) is a highly fluorinated, four-membered cyclic ether building block of significant interest in advanced material science. Its unique structure, featuring a strained oxetane ring with pentafluoro substitution, makes it a valuable precursor for introducing fluorinated segments into polymers and specialty chemicals. This compound is primarily sought by R&D and production teams in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and high-performance polymer industries for developing novel materials with enhanced properties such as chemical resistance, thermal stability, and low surface energy.

Application

• Advanced Polymer Synthesis: A key monomer for creating fluorinated polyethers and specialty polymers with enhanced chemical and thermal resistance.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a versatile building block in the synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly where fluorination is desired for metabolic stability.
• Agrochemical Development: Used in the research and production of next-generation herbicides and pesticides, leveraging the bioactivity often imparted by fluorinated motifs.
• Surface Modification Agents: Employed to create low-surface-energy coatings for applications in electronics, textiles, and anti-fouling surfaces.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Acts as a fluorinated component in the synthesis of materials for display and lighting technologies.
• Electrolyte Additives: Investigated for use in lithium-ion battery electrolytes to improve stability and performance.
• Cross-linking Agent: Utilized in UV-curable resins and coatings due to the reactivity of the oxetane ring.

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and compliance with industry standards. Standard quality parameters include purity assay, identity confirmation, and control of key impurities. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results are available upon request for every batch shipped. We adhere to a cGMP-compliant quality management system to meet the stringent requirements of our global customer base in research and regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place, preferably at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) to minimize volatility and degradation. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed when not in use. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
