Description

3-(1H,1H-Nonafluoropentyl)-4-Methylcyclopentane-1,1-Dicarboxylic Acid is a high-value, fluorinated dicarboxylic acid derivative, prized for its unique combination of a cyclopentane core and a perfluorinated alkyl chain. This structure imparts exceptional chemical and thermal stability, making it a critical advanced intermediate for demanding applications. It is primarily sought after by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries for synthesizing novel compounds with enhanced properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring fluorinated motifs to modulate bioavailability, metabolic stability, and lipophilicity.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in creating advanced herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides where the fluorine atoms enhance biological activity, environmental persistence, and rainfastness.
• Specialty Polymer Modifier: Serves as a monomer or cross-linking agent for producing high-performance fluoropolymers and coatings with superior chemical resistance, low surface energy, and thermal stability.
• Liquid Crystal & Electronic Materials: A precursor for fluorinated liquid crystals and dielectric materials used in display technologies and advanced electronics.
• Surface Active Agents: Basis for creating fluorinated surfactants and leveling agents with exceptional wetting and spreading capabilities on low-energy surfaces.
• Catalyst & Ligand Development: Employed in organometallic chemistry to develop novel chiral ligands and catalysts for asymmetric synthesis.

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Each batch is characterized using advanced analytical techniques to guarantee identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, impurities, and other critical parameters are available upon request. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our customers in regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent, keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases, oxidizing agents, and reactive metals. Ensure containers are kept upright to prevent leakage.
