Description

2-[2-Fluoro-4-(Trifluoromethyl)Phenyl]Ethanol is a high-value fluorinated aromatic building block essential for advanced organic synthesis. Its unique structure, featuring both fluorine and trifluoromethyl substituents, is critical for modulating the lipophilicity, metabolic stability, and binding affinity of target molecules. This compound is primarily sought after by research and development teams in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for creating novel active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key synthon for the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in oncology, CNS, and antiviral research.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the creation of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides where the fluorine motif enhances bioactivity and environmental persistence.
• Liquid Crystal Materials: Serves as a precursor for fluorinated components in electronic display technologies.
• Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs): Employed in the synthesis of electron-transport or host materials for efficient display and lighting devices.
• Advanced Material Science: Acts as a building block for specialty polymers and coatings with enhanced chemical resistance and surface properties.
• Contract Research & Development (CRO/CMO): Supplied to custom synthesis laboratories for client-directed discovery projects.

Quality Control

Every batch of 2-[2-Fluoro-4-(Trifluoromethyl)Phenyl]Ethanol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the material meets the precise requirements of your synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available for each lot and provided with every shipment.

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). Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents. Due to its sensitivity to fluoride/strong alkali, ensure storage areas are segregated from these substances.
