Description

1-Fluorononane is a high-purity, straight-chain alkyl fluoride with the CAS number 463-18-3, valued for its role as a versatile building block and intermediate in advanced chemical synthesis. Its key property of high volatility makes it particularly useful in applications requiring precise deposition or controlled reactivity. This specialty chemical is essential for R&D laboratories and industrial manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials science sectors seeking to introduce fluorine atoms into complex molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key fluorinating agent or building block in the synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and diagnostic agents.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and production of fluorinated pesticides and herbicides, where the fluorine atom can enhance biological activity and stability.
• Surface Modification & Coatings: Employed to create hydrophobic and oleophobic surfaces on materials like textiles, polymers, and electronics due to its ability to form fluorocarbon layers.
• Lubricant & Fluid Additive: Acts as a precursor or additive in the formulation of high-performance fluorinated lubricants and heat-transfer fluids.
• Organic Synthesis & Catalysis: A valuable reagent in organic chemistry for nucleophilic substitution reactions and as a ligand modifier in catalytic systems.
• Electronics Manufacturing: Potential use in the deposition of thin films or as a etching agent in semiconductor and microelectronics fabrication processes.

Quality Control

Every batch of 1-Fluorononane is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) that detail purity, identity, and impurity profiles, ensuring traceability and compliance with your project specifications. Our quality commitment supports applications requiring high-purity intermediates for research and regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain purity. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
