Description

Heptafluoro-2-Nitrosopropane is a specialized fluorinated nitroso compound with the CAS registry number 422-98-0. This high-value intermediate is critical for introducing perfluoroisopropyl and nitroso functional groups into advanced molecular architectures. It is primarily sought after by research and development teams in the pharmaceutical and advanced materials sectors for synthesizing novel compounds with tailored properties. Its unique structure makes it a valuable building block for creating molecules with potential biological activity or specific material characteristics.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthon in the research and development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for introducing fluorinated motifs to enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the synthesis of novel fluorinated pesticides and herbicides, where the fluorine atoms can improve lipophilicity and environmental persistence.
• Advanced Material Synthesis: Employed in the creation of specialty polymers, liquid crystals, or organic electronic materials that benefit from the incorporation of perfluorinated alkyl chains.
• Chemical Research Reagent: Acts as a versatile reagent in organic synthesis for [3+2] cycloaddition reactions or as a source of the perfluoroisopropyl radical in radical chemistry.
• Fluorinated Surfactant & Coatings Precursor: Potential use in developing next-generation surfactants, water-repellent coatings, or surface modifiers due to the highly fluorinated group.

Quality Control

Every batch of Heptafluoro-2-Nitrosopropane is produced and analyzed under strict quality management protocols to ensure consistency and purity for research applications. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including assay by GC or HPLC and identity confirmation by FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical properties, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated place, preferably at 2-8°C (refrigerated) to minimize vapor pressure and degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Containers should be kept upright and securely sealed when not in use.
