Description

4,4,4-Trifluorobutyltrifluoromethanesulphonate97% is a high-purity organofluorine building block and triflate ester reagent. This compound is valued for its role as a versatile electrophile and alkylating agent in advanced synthetic chemistry, enabling the introduction of the 4,4,4-trifluorobutyl moiety. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for constructing complex fluorinated molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) containing fluorinated alkyl chains, which can enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in creating novel herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides where fluorination is employed to improve efficacy and environmental profile.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Serves as a precursor in the production of fluorinated components for electronic display and lighting technologies.
• Polymer Modification: Employed to introduce fluorinated side chains into polymers, altering surface properties, chemical resistance, and thermal stability.
• Cross-Coupling Reactions: Acts as an effective substrate in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Negishi, Suzuki-Miyaura) for C-C bond formation.
• Nucleophilic Substitution: An excellent leaving group (triflate) for SN2 reactions with various nucleophiles, facilitating efficient functional group transformations.

Quality Control

Our 4,4,4-Trifluorobutyltrifluoromethanesulphonate97% is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles. We adhere to relevant industry standards, and specifications can be provided to meet specific GMP or ISO guided requirements for advanced intermediates.

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, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and fluorides.
