Description

Potassium Trifluoro(3-Phenylbicyclo[2.2.1]Heptan-2-Yl)Borate is a specialized organoboron salt featuring a rigid norbornane core structure. This compound is valued for its role as a highly effective, non-coordinating anion precursor in advanced chemical synthesis. It is primarily needed by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials science sectors for developing novel catalysts and fine chemicals.

Application

• Catalyst Component: Serves as a source of a weakly coordinating anion in transition metal catalysis, particularly for olefin polymerization and cross-coupling reactions.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of complex organic molecules and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) requiring specific stereochemistry.
• Agrochemical Research: Employed in the development of new pesticides and herbicides where the norbornane scaffold imparts unique biological activity.
• Polymer Science: Acts as a co-catalyst or activator in the production of specialty polymers with tailored properties.
• Electrolyte Additive: Investigated for use in advanced battery systems due to its boron-based anion structure.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Utilized as a stable borate salt for transferring functional groups or mediating challenging transformations.

Quality Control

Our Potassium Trifluoro(3-Phenylbicyclo[2.2.1]Heptan-2-Yl)Borate is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing including NMR, HPLC, and elemental analysis to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting full specifications are available upon request, supporting compliance with research and cGMP guidelines where applicable.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 15-25°C. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be handled under a dry, inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent decomposition. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use.
