Description

1-Propanone, 1-Cyclohexyl-2-Fluoro- (8Ci,9Ci) is a specialized fluorinated ketone building block, identified by CAS NO 21120-38-7. This compound is valued for its unique molecular structure, which combines a cyclohexyl group with a fluorine-substituted propanone moiety, making it a versatile intermediate for introducing fluorinated segments into more complex molecules. It is primarily sought after by research and development chemists in the pharmaceutical and advanced materials sectors for applications requiring precise fluorination.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key synthon in the research and development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for introducing fluorine atoms to modulate bioavailability and metabolic stability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the creation of advanced herbicides and pesticides where fluorination can enhance biological activity and environmental persistence.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Serves as a fluorinated precursor in the synthesis of specialty chemicals for electronic displays and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).
• Polymer Modification: Acts as a monomer or modifier in the production of specialty fluoropolymers with unique surface properties, chemical resistance, or optical characteristics.
• Organic Synthesis & Catalysis Research: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for studying fluorination reactions and developing new catalytic methodologies.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Potential use as an intermediate for synthesizing complex fluorinated aroma chemicals, though specific applications require validation.

Quality Control

Our 1-Propanone, 1-Cyclohexyl-2-Fluoro- is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopy (NMR, IR, MS), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment. We support custom synthesis and can tailor purity grades (e.g., >95%, >98%, >99%) to meet specific research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and fluorides. For long-term storage, consider using an inert atmosphere to maintain optimal stability.
