Description

Benzofuran,2-Fluoro-3-Methyl-(9Ci) CAS NO 725274-12-4 is a high-purity fluorinated benzofuran derivative, a key building block in advanced organic synthesis. This compound is valued for its unique molecular structure, which introduces both fluorine and methyl substituents onto the benzofuran core, enabling precise modulation of electronic and steric properties in target molecules. It is primarily sought after by research and development chemists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for the creation of novel active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a critical synthon in the research and development of new drug candidates, particularly in medicinal chemistry programs targeting CNS disorders, oncology, and anti-inflammatory agents.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of next-generation herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, where the fluorine atom enhances biological activity and environmental stability.
• Material Science Research: Acts as a precursor for organic electronic materials, including OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) emitters and charge-transport materials, due to its tunable photophysical properties.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Employed in the design of fluorescent tags and molecular probes for studying biological processes and enzyme mechanisms.
• Academic & Contract Research: A valuable reagent for universities and CROs (Contract Research Organizations) conducting fundamental research in heterocyclic and fluorine chemistry.
