Description

1-Fluorotetradecane is a high-purity, straight-chain aliphatic fluorocarbon compound, identified by CAS NO 593-33-9. It serves as a versatile and valuable fluorinated building block in advanced organic synthesis and materials science, prized for its ability to introduce fluorine atoms to modify chemical and physical properties. This specialty chemical is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty materials sectors seeking to develop novel compounds with enhanced stability, lipophilicity, or biological activity.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of fluorinated drug candidates to improve metabolic stability and membrane permeability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Acts as a key precursor for creating fluorinated pesticides and herbicides with increased efficacy and environmental persistence.
• Fluorinated Surfactant & Polymer Precursor: Employed in the development of specialty surfactants, coatings, and polymers that require oil and water repellency or low surface energy.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Utilized in nucleophilic substitution and coupling reactions to introduce long-chain fluorinated groups into complex molecules.
• Lubricant & Fluid Additive: Serves as a base or additive in high-performance lubricants and functional fluids for extreme temperature and chemical resistance.
• Material Science Research: Applied in the creation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and surface modification agents for nanotechnology applications.
