Description

1-Chloro-13-Fluorotridecane is a high-purity, bifunctional aliphatic building block featuring both chloro and fluoro terminal groups. This unique structure makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing specialty chemicals with tailored surface properties and reactivity. It is primarily utilized by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for applications requiring precise molecular modifications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthon in the development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for introducing lipophilic chains or as a precursor for further functionalization.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of specialized herbicides, pesticides, and plant growth regulators where the fluorine atom can enhance biological activity and environmental stability.
• Surface Active Agent Precursor: Acts as a starting material for manufacturing fluorinated surfactants and lubricants, which offer superior thermal stability and low surface tension.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Material Research: Employed in the synthesis of fluorinated components for electronic display materials, leveraging its ability to modify dielectric constants and intermolecular interactions.
• Polymer Modification: Utilized to incorporate halogenated segments into polymers, imparting specific characteristics like oil repellency, chemical resistance, or altered solubility.
• Cross-coupling Reactions: Functions as an alkyl halide partner in various metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Negishi, Kumada) to construct complex organic frameworks.

Quality Control

Our 1-Chloro-13-Fluorotridecane is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and Karl Fischer titration, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture absorption and volatilization.
