Description

Fluorocyclohexane CAS NO 372-46-3 is a halogenated cycloalkane where a fluorine atom replaces a hydrogen on the cyclohexane ring. This structural modification imparts unique chemical properties, making it a valuable intermediate and solvent in advanced synthesis. It is particularly sought after by research and development teams in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors for its utility in fluorination chemistry and as a specialty reaction medium. Its specific characteristics also lend it to applications in materials science and electronics manufacturing.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and novel drug candidates.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of fluorinated pesticides and herbicides, where the fluorine atom can enhance biological activity and stability.
• Specialty Solvent: Acts as a reaction medium in organofluorine chemistry and other sensitive synthetic processes due to its specific solvation properties.
• Chemical Research: A valuable reagent in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new fluorination methodologies and creating fluorinated molecular libraries.
• Electronics & Materials Science: Potential use as a precursor or processing agent in the manufacture of fluorinated polymers, coatings, and electronic materials.
• Analytical Chemistry: May be employed as a standard or reference compound in chromatographic analysis and spectroscopic studies.

Quality Control

Our Fluorocyclohexane is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analysis, including assay by GC, identity confirmation (IR, NMR), and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment. We support compliance with relevant regulatory frameworks, including REACH, and can supply materials suitable for research and industrial applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain purity. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability, though short-term storage at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) is acceptable.
