Description

3-(2,4-Difluorophenoxy)-2-Butanone CAS NO 306979-67-9 is a specialized fluorinated ketone derivative, serving as a crucial synthetic intermediate in advanced organic chemistry. Its value lies in the strategic incorporation of fluorine atoms and a phenoxy-ketone scaffold, which are key motifs for modulating the biological activity and physicochemical properties of target molecules. This compound is primarily needed by research and development chemists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for the synthesis of novel active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of potential drug candidates, particularly in central nervous system (CNS) and anti-infective research.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of new-generation herbicides and fungicides, where the difluorophenoxy group enhances lipophilicity and metabolic stability.
• Material Science Research: Serves as a precursor for specialty monomers or ligands in the creation of advanced polymers and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Chemical Biology Probes: Utilized in the design and synthesis of molecular probes for studying enzyme mechanisms and biological pathways.
• Custom Synthesis & Contract Manufacturing: A critical starting material for custom synthesis projects and scale-up processes in fine chemical production.
