Description

3-Furancarbonyl Chloride, 4-(Trifluoromethyl)- (9Ci) is a high-value, reactive chemical intermediate characterized by its furan ring and trifluoromethyl group. This compound matters for its role as a key building block in the synthesis of complex molecules, particularly in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors. It is needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists working on novel active ingredients, where its unique structure enables the introduction of both heterocyclic and fluorine-containing motifs. The product is supplied with a focus on purity and consistency to support critical synthetic pathways.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial precursor in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, especially those targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders and anti-infective agents.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, where the trifluoromethyl group enhances biological activity and environmental stability.
• Material Science Research: Serves as a monomer or functionalization agent in the creation of specialty polymers and advanced organic materials with specific electronic or surface properties.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Employed in the preparation of complex ligands for catalysis and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Fluorine Chemistry: Acts as a versatile reagent for introducing fluorine-containing fragments into target molecules, a common strategy in modern medicinal chemistry.

Quality Control

Our 3-Furancarbonyl Chloride, 4-(Trifluoromethyl)- (9Ci) is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and identity confirmation. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research or production standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature and reactivity as an acid chloride, it must be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) and separated from strong bases and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
