Description

(Dl) 2,4-Difluorobenzenemethanamine-α-Methyl CAS NO 791098-84-5 is a chiral, fluorinated benzenemethanamine derivative, serving as a high-value building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its core value lies in the strategic incorporation of fluorine atoms and a chiral center, which are critical for modulating the biological activity, metabolic stability, and physicochemical properties of target molecules. This compound is essential for research and development chemists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, where it is used to create novel active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key chiral synthon for the development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in CNS and anti-infective drug candidates.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Building block for novel herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides, leveraging fluorine's ability to enhance lipophilicity and membrane permeability.
• Ligand & Catalyst Development: Used in the preparation of chiral ligands for asymmetric catalysis and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Material Science Research: Precursor for specialty polymers and advanced materials where fluorinated aromatic amines impart unique thermal and chemical resistance.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated probes and markers for bioimaging and diagnostic assays.
• Academic & Contract Research: Critical reagent for methodological studies in organic and medicinal chemistry within academic and CRO (Contract Research Organization) settings.

Quality Control

Our (Dl) 2,4-Difluorobenzenemethanamine-α-Methyl is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and scale-up applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation.
