Description

10-Fluoro-1-Decanol is a versatile fluorinated alcohol building block, valued for its unique combination of a long hydrocarbon chain and a terminal fluorine atom. This structure makes it a critical intermediate for introducing lipophilicity and metabolic stability into target molecules. It is primarily sought after by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for applications ranging from drug discovery to specialty polymer synthesis.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for synthesizing fluorinated drug candidates, particularly in oncology and CNS (Central Nervous System) research, where the fluorine atom can enhance bioavailability and metabolic resistance.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of novel fluorinated pesticides and herbicides, leveraging the fluorine's ability to improve lipophilicity and environmental persistence.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Serves as a fluorinated alkyl chain component in the synthesis of advanced electronic materials for displays and lighting, improving dielectric properties and alignment.
• Surface Modification & Coatings: Employed to create low-surface-energy coatings, imparting water-repellent (hydrophobic) and oil-repellent (oleophobic) properties to textiles, optics, and electronic components.
• Fluorinated Surfactant Precursor: Acts as a starting material for synthesizing specialty surfactants and emulsifiers used in demanding industrial and fire-fighting foam applications.
• Organic Synthesis & Research: A valuable reagent in academic and industrial R&D for constructing complex fluorinated molecules, exploring structure-activity relationships (SAR).
