Description

3-Hexen-2-One, 3-Fluoro- (9Ci) is a specialized fluorinated ketone building block with a unique unsaturated structure. This compound is valued for its ability to introduce both fluorine and a reactive ketone/alkene moiety into target molecules, enabling the synthesis of novel materials and bioactive compounds. It is primarily sought by research chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for use in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry programs.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthon for the development of fluorinated drug candidates, leveraging fluorine's ability to modulate bioavailability and metabolic stability.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the synthesis of novel fluorinated pesticides and herbicides, where the fluorine atom can enhance biological activity and environmental persistence.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: The reactive α,β-unsaturated ketone functionality makes it a versatile substrate for Michael additions, cyclizations, and other C-C bond-forming reactions.
• Material Science Precursor: Potential use in creating fluorinated polymers or specialty chemicals with tailored surface properties and chemical resistance.
• Flavor & Fragrance Chemistry: May be employed in the research and development of complex aroma molecules, where subtle structural changes impart significant olfactory differences.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A valuable tool for exploring new synthetic methodologies and reaction pathways involving fluorinated olefins.

Quality Control

Our 3-Hexen-2-One, 3-Fluoro- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, NMR, and FTIR analysis, to confirm identity, purity, and the absence of critical impurities. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with your research or development specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). Due to its highly volatile nature, keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. For long-term storage, consider maintaining under an inert atmosphere to preserve stability.
