Description

2-Chlorotetrafluoropropionyl Bromide is a highly reactive fluorinated acyl bromide intermediate. This compound matters for its role as a versatile building block in the synthesis of complex fluorinated molecules, offering a unique combination of halogen atoms for selective functionalization. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for creating novel active ingredients and advanced materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in antiviral and anticancer drug discovery.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced, high-performance fluorinated pesticides and herbicides with enhanced stability and bioavailability.
• Liquid Crystal Material Precursor: Serves as a critical intermediate in the manufacture of fluorinated compounds for electronic display applications.
• Polymer Modification Agent: Imparts fluorinated side chains to polymers, enhancing their chemical resistance, thermal stability, and surface properties.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Employed in academic and industrial research laboratories for introducing the 2-chlorotetrafluoropropionyl group into target molecules.
• Specialty Chemical Manufacturing: Acts as a precursor for surfactants, coatings, and other performance chemicals where fluorination is desired.

Quality Control

Our 2-Chlorotetrafluoropropionyl Bromide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature and reactivity as a strong acid/organic solvent, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
