Description

Pfboa-n-Valeraldehyde CAS NO 932710-56-0 is a specialized fluorinated organic compound, specifically a perfluorobutyl-substituted valeraldehyde. This chemical is valued for its unique combination of aldehyde reactivity and the exceptional stability and hydrophobicity imparted by the perfluorinated chain. It serves as a critical high-performance building block for researchers and industrial chemists developing advanced materials and specialty chemicals. Key target sectors include pharmaceutical intermediates, agrochemical synthesis, and the production of specialized surfactants and polymers where fluorination is required to enhance properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly where fluorination can improve metabolic stability, bioavailability, or membrane permeability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Acts as a key precursor for developing new generation pesticides and herbicides, leveraging the fluorine moiety to enhance efficacy and environmental persistence.
• Specialty Polymer & Material Science: Serves as a monomer or modifier in the creation of fluoropolymers and surface coatings that demand high chemical resistance, low surface energy, and thermal stability.
• Advanced Surfactant & Fluorosurfactant Production: The perfluorobutyl group makes it an ideal intermediate for manufacturing high-performance surfactants used in fire-fighting foams, coatings, and electronics.
• Liquid Crystal & Electronic Chemicals: Employed in the synthesis of fluorinated components for liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and other electronic materials where precise chemical structure is critical.
• Organic Synthesis & Research Chemistry: Provides a versatile aldehyde functional group for coupling reactions, Grignard reactions, and reductive amination in exploratory and process chemistry.

Quality Control

Our production of Pfboa-n-Valeraldehyde adheres to stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopy (NMR, IR) to confirm identity, purity, and impurity profiles. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, documenting all critical quality attributes. Our commitment to cGMP principles and compliance with REACH regulations ensures the material meets the exacting standards of global industrial and research applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be opaque or stored in dark conditions. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere to preserve aldehyde functionality.
