Description

2-[(2-Chloro-6-Fluoro-Phenyl)Methylsulfanyl]Acetic Acid CAS NO 714260-38-5 is a specialized organosulfur compound featuring a phenyl ring substituted with chlorine and fluorine, linked to an acetic acid moiety via a methylsulfanyl bridge. This unique structure makes it a valuable building block and key intermediate in advanced synthetic chemistry, particularly for constructing complex molecules with specific electronic and steric properties. It is primarily sought by pharmaceutical and agrochemical research & development teams for the synthesis of novel active ingredients, including potential drug candidates and crop protection agents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A critical precursor in the synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders, anti-inflammatory agents, and antimicrobials.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key building block for developing new-generation herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, leveraging the bioactivity of the chloro-fluoro-phenyl moiety.
• Material Science Research: Used in the development of advanced organic materials, such as liquid crystals, organic semiconductors, and functional polymers, where its specific substitution pattern can tune material properties.
• Chemical Biology & Proteomics: Can be utilized as a scaffold or linker in the design of chemical probes, enzyme inhibitors, and activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) reagents.
• Custom Synthesis & Contract Manufacturing: Supplied to CDMOs (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations) for the production of bespoke compounds for client R&D programs.
• Academic & Institutional Research: Employed in university and institutional laboratories for methodological studies in organic synthesis and heterocyclic chemistry.
