Description

Chlorofluoroacetyl Chloride CAS NO 359-32-0 is a highly reactive bifunctional organofluorine building block, serving as a critical intermediate in advanced chemical synthesis. Its value lies in its ability to efficiently introduce both chloroacetyl and fluoroacetyl moieties, enabling the construction of complex molecules with tailored properties. This compound is essential for R&D and production in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, where it is used to create novel active ingredients and specialty chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), including potential antiviral and anticancer agents.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides that benefit from the stability and bioavailability imparted by fluorine atoms.
• Liquid Crystal & Electronic Chemicals: Serves as a precursor for fluorinated compounds used in liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and dielectric materials.
• Polymer Modification: Employed to introduce functional side chains into polymers, enhancing properties like chemical resistance, surface energy, and durability.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: A versatile reagent for acylation and chloroacetylation reactions in research laboratories and fine chemical production.
• Dye & Pigment Manufacturing: Facilitates the synthesis of specialized fluorinated dyes and pigments with improved color fastness and performance.

Quality Control

Our Chlorofluoroacetyl Chloride is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistency, meeting the exacting standards required for advanced synthetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature and reactivity as a strong acid/organic solvent, it must be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) and separated from incompatible materials such as bases, alcohols, and amines. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability.
