Results for tag: "4 Fluorobenzyl Chloride"

Fluorobenzyl Chloride (FBC) is a pharmaceutical intermediate used in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor and is highly reactive. FBC is used in the synthesis of a variety of APIs, including antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and anti-cancer drugs. It is also used in the production of fluorinated compounds, such as fluorinated steroids and fluorinated peptides. FBC is produced by the reaction of fluorobenzene and chlorine. The reaction is typically carried out in an inert atmosphere, such as nitrogen or argon, and is usually conducted at temperatures between -20°C and +50°C. The reaction is highly exothermic and requires careful control of the reaction conditions. The FBC market is highly competitive, with a number of major players operating in the space. These companies include BASF, Solvay, Merck, and Dow Chemical. Additionally, there are a number of smaller companies that specialize in the production of FBC. These companies typically focus on providing custom synthesis services for APIs and other pharmaceutical intermediates. Show Less Read more
