Description

7-(4-Fluorophenyl)-7-Oxoheptanoic Acid is a high-purity, fine organic chemical intermediate characterized by its specific fluorinated aromatic ketone structure. This compound is valued for its role as a versatile building block in advanced organic synthesis, enabling the introduction of both a fluorophenyl moiety and a carboxylic acid functional group. It is primarily sought after by research and development teams in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors for the synthesis of novel active ingredients and complex molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key synthon in the research and development of new drug candidates, particularly those targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders, inflammatory diseases, and metabolic conditions.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the creation of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, where the fluorine atom can enhance biological activity, stability, and selectivity.
• Material Science Research: Serves as a precursor for specialty polymers, liquid crystals, or organic electronic materials due to its aromatic and functional group diversity.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Employed in the design and synthesis of molecular probes and tags for studying biological processes and protein interactions.
• Custom Synthesis & Contract Manufacturing: A critical starting material for custom synthesis houses and CDMOs (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations) serving global clients.

Quality Control

Every batch of 7-(4-Fluorophenyl)-7-Oxoheptanoic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, NMR, and MS to ensure identity, purity, and consistency meet the exacting standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee full traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

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