Description

n-Pentyltrifluoroborate potassium salt is a versatile organotrifluoroborate reagent, a key building block in modern synthetic chemistry. Its value lies in its enhanced stability and handling compared to traditional boronic acids, making cross-coupling reactions more robust and predictable. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors who require reliable, high-purity intermediates for Suzuki-Miyaura and other transition metal-catalyzed couplings.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial building block for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug candidates via palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in creating novel herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides that require the incorporation of pentyl or modified alkyl chains.
• Material Science Research: Serves as a precursor for developing organic electronic materials, liquid crystals, and polymers with tailored properties.
• Chemical Biology & Proteomics: Employed in bioconjugation strategies and as a tool compound for labeling and modifying biomolecules.
• Catalyst & Ligand Development: Acts as a substrate in the discovery and optimization of new catalytic systems for C-C bond formation.
• Custom Synthesis & Contract Manufacturing: A key reagent for fine chemical and custom synthesis houses serving diverse R&D and scale-up needs.

Quality Control

Our n-Pentyltrifluoroborate potassium salt is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR (1H, 11B, 19F) and HPLC analysis, to ensure high chemical purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be handled under inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for prolonged storage or after opening to prevent decomposition.
