Description

Potassium 2,2,2-Trifluoroethane-2-Trifluoroborate is an organotrifluoroborate salt, a versatile and stable reagent in modern synthetic chemistry. Its primary value lies in its role as a robust precursor for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the efficient construction of complex fluorinated molecules. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors who require reliable, high-purity building blocks for creating novel fluorinated compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key building block for synthesizing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) containing trifluoromethyl or difluoromethylene groups, which are crucial for metabolic stability and bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides where fluorine substitution enhances biological activity and environmental persistence.
• Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling: Serves as a stable, air- and moisture-tolerant organoboron reagent for palladium-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond formation with aryl/vinyl halides.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Material Development: Employed in the synthesis of fluorinated organic semiconductors and liquid crystal molecules for electronic displays and lighting.
• Fluorine-18 Radiochemistry: Potential use as a precursor or intermediate in the development of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging agents.
• Polymer Science: Facilitates the introduction of fluorinated segments into polymers to modify surface properties, chemical resistance, and thermal stability.

Quality Control

Our Potassium 2,2,2-Trifluoroethane-2-Trifluoroborate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR (1H, 11B, 19F), HPLC, and elemental analysis, to ensure high chemical purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment. We adhere to cGMP principles for pharmaceutical-grade material upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and strong oxidizing agents.
