Description

4,4,4-Trifluoro-3-(Trifluoromethyl)Butyl Bromide, also known as 1,1-Bis(Trifluoromethyl)-3-Bromopropane, is a high-value, multi-fluorinated organic bromide building block. This compound is prized for its unique molecular structure, which introduces significant lipophilicity and metabolic stability, making it a critical intermediate in advanced chemical synthesis. It is primarily sought after by R&D and production teams in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty materials industries for constructing complex molecules with enhanced properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for synthesizing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring trifluoromethyl groups to improve bioavailability and binding affinity.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides where the fluorinated moiety enhances environmental stability and efficacy.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Serves as a precursor for fluorine-containing compounds used in electronic display technologies and organic light-emitting diodes.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Employed to introduce fluorine into polymer chains, improving chemical resistance, thermal stability, and surface properties of high-performance materials.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Acts as a versatile alkylating agent in nucleophilic substitution reactions to incorporate the -C(CF3)2- moiety into target molecules.
• Fluorinated Surfactant & Lubricant Precursor: Used in the development of specialty surfactants and lubricants with superior performance under extreme conditions.

Quality Control

Our 4,4,4-Trifluoro-3-(Trifluoromethyl)Butyl Bromide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC/HPLC for purity and identity verification, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and bases. Recommended storage temperature is between 2°C and 8°C for long-term stability. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition.
