Description

1-Bromo-1,3,3,3-Tetrafluoroprop-1-Ene is a versatile fluorinated organic intermediate, valued for its unique combination of a bromine atom and multiple fluorine atoms on a short-chain alkene backbone. This structure makes it a critical building block for introducing fluorinated motifs into target molecules, enhancing properties like chemical stability, lipophilicity, and metabolic resistance. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for synthesizing novel compounds and specialty chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring fluorinated segments to improve bioavailability and patent life.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key precursor for developing new-generation herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides with enhanced environmental stability and efficacy.
• Fluorinated Polymer & Material Science: Acts as a monomer or modifier in the production of specialty polymers, coatings, and electronic materials to impart oil/water repellency and chemical resistance.
• Refrigerant & Propellant Formulation: Investigated as a potential component in next-generation, low-global-warming-potential (GWP) refrigerants and aerosol propellants.
• Organic Synthesis & Catalysis: Employed in cross-coupling reactions and as a reagent for introducing fluorinated alkyl groups in complex molecule construction.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Material Development: Utilized in the research and production of fluorinated components for display and lighting technologies.

Quality Control

Our 1-Bromo-1,3,3,3-Tetrafluoroprop-1-Ene is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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 bases and reducing agents. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep containers tightly sealed and handle in a fume hood. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
