Description

1-(2,4,6-Trifluorophenyl)Ethanol is a high-value fluorinated aromatic alcohol building block, essential for the synthesis of advanced pharmaceutical intermediates and agrochemicals. Its trifluoromethylphenyl core provides unique electronic and steric properties that are critical for modulating the bioactivity and metabolic stability of target molecules. This compound is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for creating novel active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in antiviral, antifungal, and central nervous system (CNS) drug candidates.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, where the fluorine atoms enhance lipophilicity and environmental stability.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Serves as a precursor for fluorinated components in electronic display materials, improving their dielectric anisotropy and thermal properties.
• Advanced Polymer Chemistry: Employed as a monomer or chain modifier to introduce fluorine into polymers, enhancing chemical resistance and surface properties.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Utilized in cross-coupling reactions, asymmetric synthesis, and as a precursor for other fluorinated fine chemicals in research and development.

Quality Control

Our 1-(2,4,6-Trifluorophenyl)Ethanol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC, GC, NMR, and chiral purity analysis to ensure high chemical and isomeric purity suitable for demanding synthetic applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is moisture-sensitive (hygroscopic); keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to prevent degradation.
