Description

6-Fluoro-Benzooxazole-2-Carboxylic Acid Methyl Ester is a high-value fluorinated heterocyclic building block essential for advanced organic synthesis. This compound matters for its role as a key intermediate in the development of novel pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, where the fluorine atom and benzooxazole core impart desirable biological activity and metabolic stability. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science industries for constructing complex molecular architectures.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for kinase inhibitors, anti-cancer agents, and central nervous system (CNS) drugs.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the development of new-generation herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, leveraging the fluorine atom for enhanced efficacy and environmental profile.
• Material Science: Serves as a monomer or functional additive in the creation of specialty polymers, liquid crystals, and organic electronic materials.
• Chemical Biology & Proteomics: Employed as a tagging reagent or a scaffold for designing molecular probes and enzyme inhibitors.
• Custom Synthesis & Contract Manufacturing: Supplied to CDMOs (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations) for custom synthesis projects and scale-up campaigns.

Quality Control

Our 6-Fluoro-Benzooxazole-2-Carboxylic Acid Methyl Ester is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and GC-MS, to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are provided for every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
