Description

n-(Nonafluoropentanoyl)Imidazole (CAS NO 883546-05-2) is a high-value fluorinated building block and reagent designed for advanced synthetic chemistry. Its core value lies in the perfluorinated acyl group, which acts as a highly reactive and selective acylating agent, particularly for introducing fluorinated moieties into target molecules. This compound is essential for researchers and process chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials science industries who require precise functionalization to develop novel compounds with enhanced properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key reagent for the synthesis of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs, leveraging the stability and lipophilicity of the perfluorinated chain.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in creating advanced fluorinated pesticides and herbicides, where the fluorine atoms can improve biological activity and environmental persistence.
• Materials Science: Serves as a precursor for fluorinated polymers, coatings, and surface modifiers to impart oil/water repellency, chemical resistance, and low surface energy.
• Peptide & Protein Chemistry: Employed as an acylating agent for the selective modification of amino groups under mild conditions.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Material Development: A valuable building block for introducing fluorinated segments into organic electronic materials to tune electronic properties and stability.
• Cross-Coupling & Catalysis: Can be used to prepare ligands or reagents for transition metal-catalyzed reactions in fluorochemical research.

Quality Control

Our n-(Nonafluoropentanoyl)Imidazole is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR for structural confirmation, to ensure consistency and compliance with customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment and are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, 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.
