Description

3-(Pentafluorosulfur)Cinnamic Acid is a specialized fluorinated building block of significant interest in advanced organic synthesis. This compound matters for its unique pentafluorosulfur (SF5) group, which imparts exceptional properties like high electronegativity, lipophilicity, and metabolic stability to target molecules. It is primarily needed by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials science industries for developing novel active ingredients and high-performance polymers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly in medicinal chemistry programs targeting CNS disorders and metabolic diseases.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the development of next-generation herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides, where the SF5 group enhances biological activity and environmental persistence.
• Advanced Material Synthesis: Serves as a monomer or precursor for specialty polymers, liquid crystals, and organic electronic materials requiring high thermal and chemical stability.
• Fluorine Chemistry & Catalysis: A valuable reagent in academic and industrial research exploring new fluorination methodologies and catalytic processes.
• Ligand and Probe Development: Utilized in creating sophisticated chemical probes, imaging agents, and ligands for biochemical assays and diagnostic applications.

Quality Control

Our 3-(Pentafluorosulfur)Cinnamic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your research and quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to exclude moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or storing under an inert atmosphere.
