Description

Benzenemethanamine, α-Ethyl-4-Fluoro-, (Alphas)- (9Ci) is a chiral, fluorinated benzylamine derivative, a high-value intermediate prized for its role in constructing complex molecular architectures. Its core value proposition lies in providing a versatile, enantiomerically pure building block that enables the synthesis of advanced active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and agrochemicals with enhanced efficacy and selectivity. This compound is critically needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty fine chemical industries seeking to incorporate a fluorinated chiral center into their target molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the research and development of novel fluorinated drug candidates, particularly in central nervous system (CNS) and oncology therapeutic areas.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced, enantiomerically pure herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides where the fluorine atom and chiral center improve biological activity and environmental profile.
• Ligand and Catalyst Preparation: Serves as a precursor for chiral ligands and organocatalysts used in asymmetric synthesis to control stereochemistry in critical bond-forming reactions.
• Advanced Material Research: Employed in the development of specialty polymers and liquid crystals where fluorinated aromatic amines can impart unique thermal and optical properties.
• Custom Synthesis & Contract Manufacturing: A critical starting material for custom synthesis houses and CDMOs (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations) serving the global life sciences market.

Quality Control

Our Benzenemethanamine, α-Ethyl-4-Fluoro-, (Alphas)- (9Ci) is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis, to ensure compliance with exacting customer specifications and industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles are provided with each shipment to guarantee supply reliability and batch-to-batch consistency for your critical processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
