Description

2-Fluoro-p-Xylene is a valuable fluorinated aromatic building block, essential for introducing the 2-fluoro-4-methylphenyl moiety into complex molecular architectures. Its primary commercial value lies in its role as a key intermediate in the synthesis of advanced agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and specialty materials. This compound is particularly sought after by R&D chemists and process development teams in the fine chemical, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical industries for constructing novel active ingredients and functional molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A critical synthon for the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially in medicinal chemistry programs targeting new therapeutic agents.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, where the fluorine atom enhances biological activity and metabolic stability.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Serves as a precursor in the synthesis of fluorinated organic compounds for electronic displays and optoelectronic devices.
• Polymer & Resin Modifier: Incorporated to create specialty polymers with altered solubility, thermal stability, or chemical resistance properties.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Employed in cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Suzuki, Negishi) and electrophilic substitutions to create complex, fluorinated aromatic systems for research and development.
• Dye & Pigment Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of specialized fluorinated dyes and pigments for high-performance applications.

Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Fluoro-p-Xylene is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the material meets the precise requirements of your synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA), including assay (by GC), identity confirmation (IR, NMR), and impurity profile, is supplied with each shipment to guarantee consistency and traceability for your R&D and production needs.

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 acids and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and volatilization.
