Description

Benzoyl Fluoride, 3-Chloro- (9Ci) is a specialized organofluorine building block of significant interest in advanced synthetic chemistry. Its core value lies in the strategic combination of a reactive benzoyl fluoride group with a chloro substituent, enabling precise molecular construction. This compound is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for the synthesis of complex, high-value intermediates.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring fluorinated or chlorinated aromatic motifs.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of new herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides where the 3-chlorobenzoyl moiety is integral to biological activity.
• Material Science Precursor: Serves as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the development of specialized polymers and advanced organic materials.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Employed in the preparation of complex ligands for catalysis and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Fluorination Reagent: Acts as a source of the benzoyl fluoride group for introducing fluorocarbonyl functionality into target molecules under controlled conditions.
• Chemical Research: A valuable reagent for methodological studies in organic synthesis, including cross-coupling reactions and nucleophilic acyl substitution.

Quality Control

Our Benzoyl Fluoride, 3-Chloro- (9Ci) is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the exacting standards required for research and process chemistry. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are provided and available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent decomposition. Keep away from strong acids and organic solvents.
