Description

2-Fluorophenethyl Bromide is a versatile and high-purity organobromine building block essential for advanced chemical synthesis. Its value lies in the strategic combination of a reactive benzyl bromide moiety with a fluorine substituent, enabling precise molecular construction in complex organic frameworks. This compound is critically needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science industries for creating novel active ingredients and functional molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of fluorinated drug candidates, including potential CNS-active compounds and enzyme inhibitors.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of novel fluorinated pesticides and herbicides, where the fluorine atom can enhance bioavailability and stability.
• Ligand and Catalyst Preparation: Serves as a precursor for synthesizing specialized phosphine or nitrogen-based ligands used in transition metal catalysis.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the creation of fluorinated monomers or polymers for advanced materials with specific optical or surface properties.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Useful for the site-specific labeling or functionalization of biomolecules in probe development.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A fundamental reagent for method development and exploring new fluorination chemistry and cross-coupling reactions.

Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Fluorophenethyl Bromide is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Our products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistency that meets the stringent requirements of research and process chemistry. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and support your regulatory documentation.

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 strong acids and incompatible organic solvents. Due to its light-sensitive nature and reactive bromide group, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability.
