Description

tert-Butyl 3-Cyano-3-Fluoroazetidine-1-Carboxylate is a high-value, multifunctional azetidine building block designed for advanced pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis. Its core value lies in the strategic incorporation of both cyano and fluoro substituents on a strained azetidine ring, enabling precise modulation of molecular properties such as metabolic stability, lipophilicity, and bioactivity. This compound is essential for medicinal chemists and process R&D teams in the pharmaceutical industry seeking to develop novel active ingredients, particularly in the areas of kinase inhibitors and CNS-targeted therapies.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key synthon for the construction of complex drug candidates, especially in oncology and neurology research pipelines.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of novel herbicides and pesticides, where the fluorine atom enhances biological activity and environmental persistence.
• Chemical Biology Probe Development: Serves as a versatile scaffold for creating tool compounds to study enzyme function and biological pathways.
• Material Science Research: Investigated as a monomer or precursor for specialty polymers with unique thermal or optical properties.
• Process Chemistry & Scale-Up: Employed in route scouting and optimization for the commercial-scale production of fine chemicals.

Quality Control

Our production of tert-Butyl 3-Cyano-3-Fluoroazetidine-1-Carboxylate adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical characterization, including HPLC, GC, NMR, and MS, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, documenting all critical quality attributes. Our quality system is designed to support cGMP and ISO standards for customers in regulated industries.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
