Description

Benzothiazole, 7-Fluoro- (9Ci) CAS NO 214855-12-6 is a fluorinated benzothiazole derivative, a high-value heterocyclic building block prized for its role in advanced organic synthesis. This compound matters for its ability to introduce the benzothiazole core with a strategically placed fluorine atom, which is critical for modulating the electronic properties, metabolic stability, and binding affinity of target molecules. It is primarily needed by research chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for the development of new active ingredients, as well as by material scientists exploring novel organic electronic materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key synthon for the research and development of novel drug candidates, particularly in oncology, CNS disorders, and anti-infective therapies.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the creation of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides where the benzothiazole moiety contributes to biological activity.
• Material Science Research: Serves as a precursor for organic semiconductors, fluorescent dyes, and photoinitiators due to its electron-accepting and light-emitting properties.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Employed in the design of molecular probes and sensors for studying biological processes and enzyme activity.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Utilized in organometallic chemistry to create novel ligands for catalytic systems.
