Description

Fluorocyclohexane (CAS No. 372-46-3) is a high-purity fluorinated organic compound with the molecular formula C₆H₁₁F. This colorless liquid is widely utilized in synthetic organic chemistry and material science due to its unique reactivity as a fluorinated cycloalkane. With a boiling point of 99-100°C and density of 0.988 g/mL at 25°C, it serves as a valuable building block for pharmaceutical intermediates, agrochemicals, and specialty polymers. Our product is rigorously tested to ensure >98% purity (GC) and is supplied in amber glass bottles under inert atmosphere to maintain stability. Ideal for nucleophilic substitution reactions, ring-opening transformations, and as a precursor for fluorinated materials research.

Application

Fluorocyclohexane is primarily employed as a fluorinated synthon in pharmaceutical research, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules where the cyclohexyl fluoride moiety enhances metabolic stability. In materials science, it serves as a precursor for fluorinated polymers with unique surface properties. The compound also finds use in studying ring conformation effects in physical organic chemistry due to the strong dipole moment introduced by the fluorine substituent.
