Description

(Nonafluorobutyl)Imidocarbonyl Difluoride CAS NO 424-32-8 is a specialized fluorinated building block essential for introducing perfluorobutyl groups into complex molecular architectures. Its high reactivity as a difluorocarbene precursor or fluorinating agent makes it a critical intermediate in advanced material science and pharmaceutical research. This compound is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process engineers in the agrochemical, pharmaceutical, and specialty polymer industries for developing novel compounds with enhanced properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring perfluoroalkyl motifs for metabolic stability or bioavailability enhancement.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key fluorinating agent in creating novel herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides with improved environmental persistence and efficacy.
• Fluoropolymer Modification: Employed to introduce fluorinated side chains or cross-linking sites into polymers, enhancing material properties like chemical resistance, thermal stability, and low surface energy.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Acts as a precursor for fluorinated components in electronic display materials, contributing to better dielectric properties and performance.
• Surface Treatment Agents: Used to synthesize fluorinated surfactants and coatings that provide water, oil, and stain repellency to textiles and industrial surfaces.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: A versatile reagent in academic and industrial laboratories for constructing complex fluorinated organic molecules via difluorocarbene chemistry.

Quality Control

Our (Nonafluorobutyl)Imidocarbonyl Difluoride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR, IR, and GC/HPLC analysis, to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency suitable for sensitive synthetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent decomposition. Keep away from strong bases and incompatible materials.
