Description

Potassium Cycloheptyltrifluoroborate is an organoboron reagent belonging to the potassium trifluoroborate salt family, prized for its enhanced stability and handling properties compared to boronic acids. This compound serves as a versatile and robust coupling partner in transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, such as the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction, enabling the efficient construction of complex organic frameworks. It is a critical synthetic intermediate for researchers and process chemists in pharmaceutical development, agrochemical research, and advanced material science, where reliable and predictable C-C bond formation is paramount.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and novel drug candidates via palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in creating complex molecules for crop protection agents, herbicides, and fungicides.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the development of organic electronic materials, liquid crystals, and polymers requiring specific cycloheptyl motifs.
• Chemical Biology & Medicinal Chemistry: Facilitates the late-stage functionalization and diversification of complex molecules in probe and lead optimization.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A staple reagent in research laboratories for methodological development and exploring new synthetic pathways.
• Fine Chemical Production: Enables the scalable, high-purity synthesis of specialty chemicals and complex organic compounds.

Quality Control

Our Potassium Cycloheptyltrifluoroborate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR (1H, 11B, 13C), HPLC, and elemental analysis, to ensure high chemical purity and consistent performance. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, detailing all specification results. Our quality commitment supports applications requiring reproducible results in sensitive synthetic workflows.

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 in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
