Description

D-Halothane is a high-purity, volatile fluorinated hydrocarbon compound, distinct from its anesthetic isomer, primarily utilized as a critical intermediate and reference standard in advanced chemical synthesis. Its value lies in its specific stereochemistry and high chemical purity, which are essential for ensuring the reproducibility and efficacy of downstream products in regulated industries. This compound is particularly needed by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, agrochemical manufacturers, and specialty chemical producers engaged in fluorination chemistry and the development of novel active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral building block in the synthesis of complex drug molecules, particularly those requiring fluorinated motifs.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in developing advanced pesticides and herbicides where the introduction of fluorine atoms enhances biological activity and stability.
• Chemical Reference Standard: Serves as an analytical standard for quality control and method validation in gas chromatography (GC) and other analytical techniques.
• Fluorination Chemistry Studies: Employed in academic and industrial research to study reaction mechanisms and develop new fluorination methodologies.
• Specialty Polymer Synthesis: Acts as a monomer or modifier in the production of fluoropolymers with unique properties like chemical resistance and thermal stability.
• Electronic Chemicals: Potential use in the formulation of specialty solvents and cleaning agents for the electronics manufacturing sector.

Quality Control

Every batch of D-Halothane is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the product meets the high standards required for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, enantiomeric excess, and identity is supplied with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Containers should be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and potential contamination.
