Description

7-(1H-Benzoimidazol-2-Yl)-1,1,1-Trifluoroheptan-2-One is a high-value, specialized organic intermediate featuring a benzimidazole core linked to a trifluoromethyl ketone moiety. This unique molecular architecture makes it a critical building block for the synthesis of advanced pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, where it imparts desirable properties such as metabolic stability and enhanced bioavailability. It is primarily sought after by research and development chemists and process scale-up teams in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for kinase inhibitors, antiviral agents, and anti-inflammatory drugs.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in developing new generations of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators that leverage the benzimidazole scaffold for biological activity.
• Material Science: Serves as a monomer or functional additive in the creation of specialty polymers and advanced organic electronic materials.
• Chemical Biology & Proteomics: Employed as a chemical probe or building block for activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) and the development of enzyme inhibitors.
• Fluorinated Compound Synthesis: The trifluoromethyl ketone group acts as a versatile handle for further chemical transformations to create other valuable fluorinated compounds.
• Contract Research & Development (CRO/CMO): Supplied to research organizations and custom synthesis manufacturers for client-directed projects.

Quality Control

Our 7-(1H-Benzoimidazol-2-Yl)-1,1,1-Trifluoroheptan-2-One is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, meeting the high standards required for research and scale-up applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity (typically ≥95% by HPLC), identity confirmation, and impurity profile is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
