Description

3-Chlorotetrafluoropropionyl Chloride is a highly reactive fluorinated acid chloride derivative, serving as a critical building block for introducing the 3-chlorotetrafluoropropionyl moiety into target molecules. Its value lies in enabling the synthesis of advanced materials and specialty chemicals with enhanced properties such as chemical resistance, thermal stability, and unique surface characteristics. This compound is essential for R&D and production chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced polymer industries, where it is used to create novel active ingredients and high-performance fluorinated intermediates.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in creating advanced herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides with improved efficacy and environmental profile.
• Fluoropolymer Modification: Serves as a monomer or grafting agent to impart oil, water, and chemical resistance to polymers.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Intermediate in the production of fluorinated components for electronic displays and organic light-emitting diodes.
• Surface Treatment Agents: Used to manufacture coatings and surface modifiers that provide low surface energy and repellency.
• Specialty Dyes & Pigments: Incorporates fluorine to alter the solubility and light-fastness of colorants.
• Cross-linking Agent: For resins and elastomers requiring specific thermal and chemical stability.

Quality Control

Our 3-Chlorotetrafluoropropionyl Chloride is manufactured under stringent process controls to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay and impurity profiling by GC and NMR. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment. 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, well-ventilated area at 15-25°C. Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under a dry inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening. Keep away from heat, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong bases, alcohols, and amines.
