Description

Bis(Trifluoroacetic Acid) CAS NO 1059700-17-2 is a specialized fluorinated organic compound, a derivative of trifluoroacetic acid. This chemical serves as a powerful reagent and building block in advanced synthetic chemistry, valued for its strong electron-withdrawing properties and ability to introduce trifluoromethyl groups. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials science industries who require high-purity intermediates for developing novel compounds with enhanced stability and bioactivity.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for drugs containing trifluoromethyl motifs which improve metabolic stability and membrane permeability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in creating advanced herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides where the introduction of fluorine atoms enhances efficacy and environmental persistence.
• Ligand and Catalyst Preparation: Employed in organometallic chemistry for modifying ligands and preparing catalysts used in cross-coupling and other transition metal-catalyzed reactions.
• Polymer and Material Science: Acts as a monomer or modifier in the production of specialty fluoropolymers, coatings, and advanced materials with unique chemical resistance and surface properties.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Functions as a strong acid catalyst or a protecting group agent in complex multi-step organic syntheses in research and development laboratories.

Quality Control

Our Bis(Trifluoroacetic Acid) is produced and handled under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent and high volatility, containers must be kept tightly sealed and upright to prevent leakage and moisture ingress. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
