About Methyl fluorosulfonyldifluoroacetate

Methyl fluorosulfonyldifluoroacetate (CAS Number: 680-15-9) is a sulfur-functionalized compound with diverse reactivity. ChemContract Research supplies this simple-complexity compound in high purity from our Huntington Beach, California facility, ensuring consistent quality and reliable domestic delivery throughout the United States.

Sulfonamides are one of the oldest and most successful pharmacophores in medicinal chemistry — present in antibiotics, diuretics, COX-2 inhibitors, and HIV protease inhibitors. 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. Ester hydrolysis by cellular esterases is the most commonly exploited prodrug activation mechanism — enabling drugs that cannot cross biological membranes as free acids.

Primary applications include sulfonamide pharmacophore installation for antibiotic and diuretic development and metabolic blocking strategy — fluorine substitution to improve drug half-life. This compound serves researchers and manufacturers across the pharmaceutical, medicinal chemistry, agrochemical sectors. Whether you require Methyl fluorosulfonyldifluoroacetate 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.
