Description

3,3,4,4,4-Pentafluorobutan-1-Ol CAS NO 54949-74-5 is a fluorinated primary alcohol characterized by a terminal hydroxyl group attached to a pentafluorobutyl chain. This unique structure makes it a valuable versatile building block for introducing fluorine-containing moieties into more complex molecules, imparting properties like enhanced lipophilicity, metabolic stability, and chemical resistance. It is primarily sought after by pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials researchers and manufacturers for the synthesis of novel active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key synthon for developing fluorinated drug candidates, potentially improving bioavailability and target binding.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in creating novel fluorinated pesticides and herbicides with potentially enhanced activity and environmental persistence profiles.
• Fluorinated Polymer & Material Science: Serves as a monomer or modifier for producing specialty polymers with unique surface properties, chemical resistance, and low dielectric constants.
• Liquid Crystal & Electronic Chemicals: Acts as a precursor for fluorinated components in liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and other electronic materials.
• Surfactant & Coating Formulations: Can be used to synthesize fluorinated surfactants or additives for coatings, providing oil and water repellency.
• Organic Synthesis & Chemical Research: A versatile reagent for introducing the -CH2CH2C2F5 group in medicinal chemistry and material science R&D.
