Description

Heptafluoroisopropylbenzene 98 CAS NO 378-34-7 is a high-purity fluorinated aromatic compound characterized by its unique perfluoroisopropyl substituent. This specialty chemical serves as a critical building block and intermediate in advanced synthesis, offering enhanced stability and specific reactivity due to its fluorine content. It is primarily sought after by research institutions and industrial manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for developing novel active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key synthon for the development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring fluorinated motifs for improved metabolic stability and bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and production of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides where the fluorinated group can enhance biological activity and environmental persistence.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Serves as a precursor in the synthesis of fluorinated components for electronic display materials and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Acts as a monomer or modifier to introduce fluorine into polymers, improving their chemical resistance, thermal stability, and surface properties.
• Organic Synthesis & Catalysis: A valuable reagent in cross-coupling reactions and as a ligand precursor in organometallic catalysis within research and fine chemical production.
• Surface Treatment & Coatings: Used to develop low surface energy coatings, water-repellent finishes, and specialty surfactants.

Quality Control

Our Heptafluoroisopropylbenzene 98 is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopy (NMR, IR), to ensure it meets the specified purity of 98% minimum and is free from critical impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research or production standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to the organic and fluorinated nature of the compound, it should be stored separately from strong oxidizers, bases, and reactive metals.
