Description

3,4'-Dichloro-4-Fluorobenzhydrol is a high-purity fluorinated and chlorinated benzhydrol derivative, serving as a critical advanced pharmaceutical intermediate (API intermediate) and versatile building block in organic synthesis. Its unique halogenated structure makes it invaluable for constructing complex molecules, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and agrochemicals. This compound is essential for research and production teams in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries seeking to introduce specific halogenated motifs into their target molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key building block in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders, anti-inflammatory agents, and other therapeutic small molecules.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and production of advanced pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides where the dichloro-fluorophenyl moiety imparts desired biological activity and stability.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Material Precursor: Serves as a starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated compounds for electronic applications, including liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Employed in cross-coupling reactions, nucleophilic substitutions, and as a precursor for other functionalized benzhydrols or benzophenones in academic and industrial R&D.
• Chemical Research & Development: A valuable reference standard and reagent for method development and exploratory chemistry in fine chemical and material science laboratories.

Quality Control

Our 3,4'-Dichloro-4-Fluorobenzhydrol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, NMR, and mass spectrometry, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide full traceability and detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, confirming compliance with customer specifications and internal quality standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
