Description

2-Amino-2-(4'-Fluorophenyl)Acetonitrile is a high-value fluorinated aromatic nitrile building block, essential for the synthesis of complex organic molecules. Its bifunctional nature, featuring both an amino and a nitrile group on a fluorinated phenyl backbone, makes it a versatile intermediate for constructing pharmacologically active scaffolds. This compound is primarily sought after by research and development teams in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for creating novel active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of fluorinated β-amino acid derivatives, enzyme inhibitors, and central nervous system (CNS) active compounds.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Building block for developing novel herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators that benefit from the stability and bioactivity of the fluorophenyl group.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Used in the preparation of chiral ligands for asymmetric catalysis and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Material Science Research: Serves as a monomer or functionalizing agent in the development of specialty polymers and advanced organic materials.
• Custom Synthesis & Contract Manufacturing: A critical starting material for custom synthesis houses and CDMOs (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations) serving the life sciences sector.

Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Amino-2-(4'-Fluorophenyl)Acetonitrile is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the compound meets the high-purity standards required for advanced synthetic applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) confirming identity, purity, and impurity profiles is supplied with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept tightly sealed after each use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
