Description

11-Fluoro-4-Methylundecanoic Acid is a high-purity, synthetically produced fluorinated fatty acid derivative. This compound is valued for its unique chemical structure, which combines a carboxylic acid functionality with a strategically placed fluorine atom and methyl group on an extended alkyl chain, making it a versatile building block for advanced chemical synthesis. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and industrial R&D departments focused on developing novel pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthon in the research and development of new drug candidates, particularly for introducing fluorine into bioactive molecules to modulate their metabolic stability and lipophilicity.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the synthesis of novel herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators, where the fluorinated alkyl chain can enhance biological activity and environmental persistence.
• Material Science: Acts as a precursor for surface-active agents, lubricant additives, or monomers for fluorinated polymers, imparting unique properties like oil and water repellency.
• Biochemical Probe: Employed in life science research as a labeled fatty acid analog to study metabolic pathways, protein binding, or membrane dynamics.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Provides a functionalized, long-chain acid for constructing complex organic molecules in medicinal and synthetic chemistry.
