Description

Tifenamil CAS NO 82-99-5 is a high-purity organic chemical compound, also known as 2,2,2-Trifluoro-1-phenylethanol, valued for its role as a versatile chiral building block and intermediate in advanced synthesis. Its trifluoromethyl and phenyl groups make it a critical precursor for developing pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty materials. This product is essential for research institutions, fine chemical manufacturers, and pharmaceutical companies engaged in the development of fluorinated active ingredients and complex organic molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon in the research and production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring a trifluoromethylated phenyl ethanol moiety.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides where the introduction of fluorine atoms enhances biological activity and environmental stability.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Serves as a precursor in the synthesis of fluorinated compounds for electronic display technologies and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).
• Asymmetric Catalysis & Ligand Synthesis: Employed as a starting material or ligand precursor in chiral catalysis for enantioselective synthesis.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Utilized in chemical research for method development, exploring new fluorination reactions, and creating novel molecular libraries.
• Specialty Polymer Modifier: Can be incorporated to introduce specific fluorinated properties into polymers for specialized industrial applications.
