Description

Pentafluoropropionic Acid Cyclohexyl Ester is a specialized fluorinated organic ester with the CAS number 24262-73-5. This high-value intermediate is prized for its unique combination of high volatility and chemical reactivity, making it a critical building block in advanced synthetic chemistry. It is primarily sought after by R&D and production teams in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty materials sectors for developing novel compounds with enhanced properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthon in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for introducing fluorinated moieties to improve metabolic stability and bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the manufacture of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides, where the fluorine atoms contribute to increased efficacy and environmental persistence.
• Liquid Crystal & Electronic Materials: Acts as a precursor in the synthesis of fluorinated liquid crystals and dielectric fluids essential for high-performance displays and electronic applications.
• Polymer Modification: Employed to introduce fluorine-containing side chains into polymers, enhancing their chemical resistance, thermal stability, and surface properties.
• Organic Synthesis & Catalysis: Functions as a versatile reagent in fluorination reactions and as a building block for complex molecule construction in fine chemical production.
• Surface Treatment & Coatings: Utilized in formulating advanced coatings that require low surface energy, leading to water-repellent (hydrophobic) and oil-repellent (oleophobic) surfaces.

Quality Control

Every batch of Pentafluoropropionic Acid Cyclohexyl Ester is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure compliance with relevant industry standards, and comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, is performed to verify identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). Due to its high volatility, ensure containers are properly sealed when not in use. Keep away from strong bases and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
