Description

2-Bromo-1-(4-(Trifluoromethyl)Phenyl)Ethanol is a versatile brominated aromatic alcohol building block characterized by its trifluoromethyl substituent. This compound matters for its role as a critical intermediate in the synthesis of complex molecules, particularly in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors. It is needed by research chemists and process development scientists working on active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), advanced materials, and specialty fine chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders and inflammatory diseases.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of advanced herbicides and pesticides, where the trifluoromethyl group enhances biological activity and metabolic stability.
• Liquid Crystal Materials: Serves as a precursor in the manufacture of fluorinated liquid crystals for display technologies.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Employed in cross-coupling reactions and as a chiral synthon for constructing complex, stereodefined molecular architectures.
• Polymer Chemistry: Acts as a monomer or modifier for introducing bromine and fluorinated aromatic units into specialty polymers.
• Chemical Research & Development: A valuable tool for medicinal chemistry and process chemistry research in both academic and industrial laboratories.

Quality Control

Our 2-Bromo-1-(4-(Trifluoromethyl)Phenyl)Ethanol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your research and production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be amber-colored or stored in light-resistant packaging.
