Description

1,1,1-Trifluoro-2-Heptene is a fluorinated olefin characterized by its unique combination of a heptene backbone and a trifluoromethyl group. This structure makes it a valuable fluorinated building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis, particularly where the introduction of fluorine atoms is desired to alter molecular properties. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty materials sectors for developing novel compounds with enhanced stability, bioavailability, or specific activity.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthon in the research and development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially those requiring fluorinated motifs for metabolic stability or membrane permeability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the creation of advanced herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides where the fluorine moiety can improve efficacy and environmental persistence profiles.
• Fluorinated Polymer & Material Science: Acts as a monomer or modifier in the synthesis of specialty polymers, coatings, and elastomers to impart oil repellency, chemical resistance, or low surface energy.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Employed in various coupling reactions, cycloadditions, and as a precursor for more complex fluorinated molecules in academic and industrial research laboratories.
• Liquid Crystal & Electronic Chemicals: Investigated for use in the formulation of fluorinated liquid crystals or as a processing agent in the electronics industry.
• Refrigerant & Propellant Research: Studied as a potential component in next-generation, low-global-warming-potential (GWP) refrigerant blends due to its fluorinated structure.

Quality Control

Our 1,1,1-Trifluoro-2-Heptene is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, isomeric purity, and impurity profiles. Our quality commitment ensures the material meets the exacting standards required for research and scale-up applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and fluorides. Recommended storage temperature is between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) for long-term stability, or at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) for short-term use. Keep container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere to minimize degradation.
