Description

Benzoyl Fluoride, 2,4,6-Trimethyl- (7Ci,8Ci) is a specialized organofluorine compound, a derivative of benzoyl fluoride with methyl substituents on the aromatic ring. This structural modification makes it a valuable high-purity building block and key intermediate in advanced synthetic chemistry, particularly for introducing the mesityl-carbonyl fluoride moiety. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in pharmaceutical development, agrochemical synthesis, and the creation of novel functional materials and ligands.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a critical precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially those requiring sterically hindered benzoyl groups.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides where the mesityl moiety enhances stability and bioactivity.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: A versatile reagent for acyl fluoridation reactions, enabling the efficient preparation of ketones, amides, and esters under mild conditions.
• Ligand and Catalyst Preparation: Employed in the fabrication of specialized ligands for transition metal catalysis and organocatalysts.
• Material Science Research: Used in the synthesis of monomers or modifiers for polymers and advanced organic materials.
• Fluorination Agent: Acts as a source of the fluorocarbonyl group in selective fluorination reactions for fine chemical production.

Quality Control

Our Benzoyl Fluoride, 2,4,6-Trimethyl- is produced under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including GC, NMR, and Karl Fischer titration to ensure high chemical purity and identity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with lot-specific data are provided to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical R&D and production processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic and highly volatile nature, store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Keep away from strong bases and moisture.
