About fluorinated building blocks

Fluorinated building blocks bring fluorine into a molecule, which can change potency, lipophilicity, metabolic stability and acidity. The group covers fluoroarenes and fluoropyridines, trifluoromethyl and difluoromethyl aromatics and heterocycles, trifluoromethoxy and pentafluorosulfanyl compounds, fluorinated alkyl chains, fluorinated amino acids and alcohols, and fluorinating reagents such as electrophilic N-F reagents, DAST type deoxofluorination reagents and trifluoromethylation reagents.

About a fifth of modern drugs and an even larger share of new agrochemicals contain fluorine, so fluorinated building blocks are in constant demand. Late-stage fluorination is possible, but buying an already fluorinated building block is often simpler and cheaper.

Ask for purity by GC, HPLC and 19F NMR, isomeric purity, water and storage conditions. Some fluorinating reagents are hazardous, moisture sensitive or thermally unstable, so check handling guidance. Several regions are developing rules on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and definitions can cover compounds with a CF3 group, so check how the rules apply to your compound and use.
