Fluorinated building blocks are compounds containing negatively charged fluorine, which are used for preparing compounds. They are used for the synthesis of biologically active target structures.
These fluorinated functionalized building blocks are prepared by the hydroformylation of fluorinated alkenes. Synthetically synthesize fluorinated compounds are also used for the preparation of drugs in pharmaceuticals and pesticides in agrochemicals. Several types of fluorinated building blocks are available in the market. They differ based on physiochemical properties, due to which they can be used for numerous applications.
Fluorine-based compounds are used for several medical applications such as dental care (topical fluoride reducing dental caries), and pharmaceuticals (majority of medicines from drugs class including analgesics, anesthetics, antibiotics, anticancer agents, antiviral, and anti-HIV). Fluorine has several biological properties, which makes its insertion in organic molecules attractive.
Fluorinated building blocks have high thermal and chemical stability, they are more thermally resistant than non-fluorinated analogs. Fluorinated building blocks have high lipophilicity and they obtain high yields under mild reaction conditions. Difluoromethyl, trifluoromethyl, perfluorinated, F-Tagged, organic triflate, organometallic, and pentafluorosulfanyl are fluorinated organic building blocks.
Moreover, alkyl fluorinated building blocks, alkenyl fluorinated building blocks, alkynyl fluorinated building blocks, and aryl fluorinated building blocks are few other types of fluorinated building blocks.
Fluorinated Building Blocks Market Dynamics
Increasing use of fluorine-based products in industries such as agriculture, pharmaceutical, and electronic, and robust product portfolio of fluorinated building blocks by manufacturers are a few factors fueling market growth. However, hazards associated to fluorine-based compound is one of the major factors restraining market growth.
A majority of manufacturers have robust portfolio of fluorinated building blocks, which enables them to cater to different industrial sectors. Expansion of business portfolio and penetration into untapped market are projected to create growth opportunities for manufacturers.
Increasing Use of Fluorine-based Products as Agrochemicals in Agriculture
Fluorine plays an important role in developing agrochemicals including herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators. These agrochemicals are used in the agricultural industry by farmers for protecting their crops and improving the quality of crops. A majority of agrochemicals, including compounds, containing fluorinated substituents.
Fluorine confers distinguishing biological properties which makes its insertion on organic molecules attractive, thus increasing the number of fluorinated intermediates under development in the agro science industry, which in turn, is expected to boost market growth.
Increasing Trend of Using Organofluorine Compounds
Organofluorines are the organic compounds contain the carbon–fluorine (C-F) bond. Types of these compounds include fluorocarbenes, fluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, fluoropolymers, and perfluorinated. These compounds are used in several application such as inhaler propellant, fluorosurfactants, solvents, organofluorine reagents, and fluorous phases.
Organofluorine chemistry has several applications in industries which provide products used in everyday life and technology. Use of different forms of fluorine is one of the trends in the market.
