Description

Benzoyl Fluoride, 2-Bromo- (9Ci) CAS NO 61103-88-6 is a specialized halogenated aromatic building block, where the combination of a benzoyl fluoride core and a bromine substituent offers unique reactivity for advanced synthesis. This compound is valued for its role as a key intermediate in the development of complex molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. It is essential for chemists and manufacturers in fine chemical, life science, and material science sectors seeking to introduce specific fluorinated and brominated motifs into their target structures.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a critical precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially those requiring fluorinated aromatic rings for enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and production of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, where the bromine atom allows for further functionalization.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Material Research: Acts as a building block for fluorinated organic semiconductors and liquid crystal compounds, contributing to improved electronic properties.
• Cross-Coupling Reactions: The bromine substituent makes it a suitable substrate for palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Suzuki, Stille) to create complex biaryl structures.
• Fluorination Reagent Precursor: Can be utilized to generate other benzoyl fluoride derivatives or fluorinating agents used in organic synthesis.
• Polymer Chemistry: Employed in the synthesis of specialty polymers and coatings that require halogenated monomers for specific thermal or chemical resistance.

Quality Control

Our production of Benzoyl Fluoride, 2-Bromo- adheres to stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for your critical syntheses. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analysis, including assay by HPLC and identification by FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment. We operate under a quality management system and can support development projects requiring material manufactured under GMP guidelines.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from strong bases and oxidizing agents.
