Description

Benzoyl Chloride, 4-(Fluoromethyl)- (9Ci) is a specialized fluorinated benzoyl chloride derivative, serving as a high-value synthetic intermediate in advanced organic chemistry. Its core value lies in introducing both the reactive benzoyl chloride moiety and a fluoromethyl group, enabling precise molecular modifications critical for developing novel compounds. This product is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors seeking to incorporate fluorinated aromatic structures into their target molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug candidates, particularly in oncology and CNS research.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in creating novel fluorinated pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides where the fluorine atom enhances biological activity and environmental stability.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Serves as a precursor for fluorinated aromatic components in electronic display materials and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Employed to introduce fluorinated side chains into polymers, improving properties like chemical resistance, thermal stability, and surface characteristics.
• Advanced Organic Synthesis: A versatile reagent for Friedel-Crafts acylation and other reactions to construct complex, fluorinated aromatic scaffolds in academic and industrial R&D.
• Fluorinated Dye & Pigment Production: Intermediate for synthesizing specialty dyes and pigments with enhanced light-fastness and unique chromatic properties.

Quality Control

Our Benzoyl Chloride, 4-(Fluoromethyl)- (9Ci) is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by FT-IR and NMR, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent hydrolysis. Keep away from strong bases, oxidizers, and moisture.
