Description

Tetrafluorosuccinyl Chloride CAS NO 356-15-0 is a highly reactive fluorinated acid chloride derivative, serving as a critical building block for advanced chemical synthesis. Its value lies in introducing a perfluorinated succinate moiety, which imparts unique properties like enhanced stability, lipophilicity, and chemical resistance to target molecules. This compound is essential for R&D and production chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty materials industries seeking to develop novel fluorinated compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in synthesizing fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs, potentially enhancing metabolic stability and bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used to create advanced fluorinated herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides, where the fluorine atoms can improve efficacy and environmental profile.
• Polymer & Material Science: Serves as a monomer or modifier for producing high-performance fluoropolymers, coatings, and specialty materials with exceptional chemical and thermal resistance.
• Liquid Crystal & Electronic Chemicals: Employed in the synthesis of fluorinated liquid crystals and electronic chemicals for displays and semiconductor applications.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: A versatile reagent for introducing the tetrafluorosuccinyl group into complex organic molecules via acylation reactions.
• Surface Modification Agent: Used to fluorinate surfaces or materials to achieve hydrophobic, oleophobic, or low-friction properties.

Quality Control

Our Tetrafluorosuccinyl Chloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by GC/HPLC, identity confirmation (IR, NMR), and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for advanced synthetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

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