Description

2,2,3,4,4,4-Hexafluoro-1,1-Dimethylbutanol CAS NO 58380-92-0 is a high-purity fluorinated alcohol derivative, valued for its unique combination of lipophilicity and chemical stability imparted by the hexafluorobutyl segment. This compound serves as a critical building block and intermediate in the synthesis of advanced materials and specialty chemicals. It is primarily sought by R&D and production teams in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced polymer industries for developing novel compounds with enhanced performance characteristics.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring fluorinated moieties to modulate bioavailability and metabolic stability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key precursor for creating novel herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides where the fluorine atoms enhance biological activity and environmental persistence.
• Advanced Polymer & Material Science: Acts as a monomer or modifier in the production of specialty fluoropolymers, coatings, and surfactants, imparting oil and water repellency, and chemical resistance.
• Liquid Crystal & Electronic Materials: Employed in the development of fluorinated liquid crystals and dielectric fluids for the electronics and display industries.
• Organic Synthesis & Catalysis: Utilized as a versatile fluorinated synthon in complex organic transformations and as a ligand or solvent in specialized catalytic systems.

Quality Control

Our 2,2,3,4,4,4-Hexafluoro-1,1-Dimethylbutanol is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopy (NMR, IR), to ensure high chemical purity and identity confirmation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and strong bases. The container should be kept tightly sealed to minimize moisture absorption and potential degradation.
