2,6-Difluoro Benzonitrile (CAS 1897-52-5) is a low-melting crystalline fluorinated aromatic nitrile used as a key intermediate for benzoylurea insecticides, pharmaceuticals and specialty fluorinated aromatics.
Standard grade offers 98.5% minimum GC purity. Premium grade offers 99.5% minimum, lower water content and inert-gas blanketed packaging. Premium is recommended for multi-step routes with tight impurity control.
The isomers differ in the position of the fluorine atoms, which changes melting point, reactivity and downstream products. 2,6-Difluoro Benzonitrile melts near 30 °C, so it can soften in warm conditions. Order by CAS (1897-52-5).
Fluorinated aromatics can face REACH and other restrictions depending on use. We confirm the current status for your application before quoting.
Store in closed containers in a cool, dry, ventilated place below 30 °C, away from strong acids, bases and oxidisers. Use within the shelf life stated on the COA and TDS.
It is treated as a dangerous good (class and UN number per SDS; always confirm on the current SDS). We pack it in UN-approved containers, apply CLP labels and ship through licensed forwarders under IMDG for sea and ADR for European road.
Yes. Laboratory and pilot samples are supplied with a COA and SDS so your team can qualify the grade. Mention sample needs in your enquiry.
REACH status is confirmed before we quote. We advise on importer-of-record arrangements and whether the substance is registered for your use. Send your use descriptor and we will confirm.
