Description

1,14-Difluorotetradecane is a linear aliphatic difluorocarbon compound, identified by CAS NO 373-50-2. This specialty fluorinated building block is valued for its unique combination of lipophilicity and chemical stability imparted by the terminal fluorine atoms. It is primarily sought after by research and development teams in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for use as a key intermediate in synthesis, particularly for introducing fluorinated segments to modulate the properties of target molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, where fluorination is employed to enhance metabolic stability, membrane permeability, and bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for creating fluorinated pesticides and herbicides, leveraging fluorine's ability to improve biological activity and environmental persistence.
• Fluorinated Surfactant & Polymer Precursor: Acts as a monomer or building block for developing specialty surfactants, lubricants, and polymers with unique surface properties and chemical resistance.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the development of fluorinated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), coatings, and liquid crystals for electronic and optical applications.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Utilized in cross-coupling reactions and other organic transformations to construct longer-chain, complex fluorinated organic molecules.
