Description

Methyl Heptafluorobutyrate (CAS No. 356-24-1) is a high-purity fluorinated ester with the molecular formula C₅H₃F₇O₂, also known by its IUPAC name methyl 2,2,3,3,4,4,4-heptafluorobutanoate. This specialty chemical is characterized by its exceptional thermal and chemical stability due to the presence of seven fluorine atoms, making it an ideal candidate for advanced applications in fluorination chemistry and material science. It is supplied as a clear, colorless liquid with a high boiling point and low viscosity, ensuring ease of handling in laboratory and industrial settings. Suitable for use as a reagent, solvent, or intermediate, this compound is rigorously tested for purity (typically ??98% by GC) and packaged under inert conditions to maintain integrity. Ideal for researchers in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and coatings seeking fluorinated building blocks with superior performance.

Application

Methyl heptafluorobutyrate is widely utilized as a key fluorinated intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals where enhanced bioavailability and metabolic stability are desired. Its strong electron-withdrawing properties make it valuable in the development of specialty polymers and surfactants with unique hydrophobic and oleophobic characteristics. Additionally, this compound serves as a derivatization agent in GC-MS analysis for sensitive detection of polar compounds.
