About 2-Amino-6-fluoro-3-nitrobenzoic acid ethyl ester

2-Amino-6-fluoro-3-nitrobenzoic acid ethyl ester is an amine-functionalized compound with nucleophilic nitrogen reactivity. ChemContract Research supplies this moderate-complexity compound in high purity from our Huntington Beach, California facility, ensuring consistent quality and reliable domestic delivery throughout the United States.

Amines are among the most prevalent functional groups in drug molecules — over 80% of small-molecule pharmaceuticals contain at least one amine moiety. The carbon–fluorine bond is the strongest single bond to carbon (485 kJ/mol). This exceptional stability underpins the "fluorine scan" strategy used in medicinal chemistry to optimize drug candidates. Carboxylic acids are among the most synthetically versatile functional groups — they can be converted to amides, esters, acid chlorides, anhydrides, alcohols, and aldehydes in a single step.

Primary applications include buchwald–hartwig amination for aryl c–n bond construction and metabolic blocking strategy — fluorine substitution to improve drug half-life. This compound serves researchers and manufacturers across the pharmaceutical, polymer, agrochemical sectors. Whether you require 2-Amino-6-fluoro-3-nitrobenzoic acid ethyl ester for early-stage research, process development, or commercial-scale production, ChemContract Research offers flexible ordering from milligram to multi-kilogram quantities with custom synthesis options and full batch documentation including Certificates of Analysis (CoA) and Safety Data Sheets.

Storage & Handling for Amines

Handling Guidelines

Amines may have strong odors and can be corrosive to skin. Handle under adequate ventilation with chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection. Handle with care in a well-ventilated fume hood. Some fluorinated compounds may release HF upon decomposition. Use chemical-resistant gloves. Acids may be corrosive or irritating. Handle with chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection. Use a fume hood for volatile acids. Some esters are volatile and flammable. Handle in a well-ventilated area. Keep away from ignition sources.

Storage Conditions

Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from acids and oxidizing agents. Keep containers tightly sealed as many amines are hygroscopic. Store at recommended temperature in a tightly sealed container. Protect from moisture, heat, and incompatible materials. Store at room temperature in a tightly sealed container. Protect from moisture and strong bases. Store at room temperature in a tightly sealed container away from heat and open flame.
