1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-4,4,4-trifluoro-1,3-butanedione
1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-4,4,4-trifluoro-1,3-butanedione (CAS 18931-60-7) is a fluorinated 1,3-diketone with the molecular formula C10H6ClF3O2 and a molecular weight of 250.60. This crystalline organic building block combines a 4-chlorophenyl group with a trifluoromethyl-bearing diketone, giving it both metal-chelating character and reactivity at the active methylene. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it as a research-grade intermediate for synthetic chemistry, heterocycle construction and the preparation of metal complexes.

Organic building block and synthetic intermediate
Used as a fine-chemical intermediate in multistep synthesis, where its reactive 1,3-dicarbonyl system supports condensation, acylation and substitution chemistry. The trifluoromethyl group is a convenient route to introduce fluorine into target molecules.
Heterocycle synthesis
1,3-Diketones of this type are established precursors to nitrogen- and oxygen-containing heterocycles such as pyrazoles and isoxazoles via condensation with hydrazines or hydroxylamine. The aryl and trifluoromethyl substituents are carried through to the ring system.
Metal-chelating ligand
As a β-diketone, the compound can act as a bidentate O,O-donor ligand, forming chelate complexes with a range of metal ions. Such fluorinated diketonate complexes are of interest in coordination chemistry and materials research.
Fluorinated reagent for research
The trifluoromethyl-substituted diketone serves as a laboratory reagent where a fluorinated 1,3-dicarbonyl motif is required. It is supplied for research and development rather than for any therapeutic or in-vivo use.

What is the CAS number and molecular formula of 1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-4,4,4-trifluoro-1,3-butanedione?
+
The CAS number is 18931-60-7 and the molecular formula is C10H6ClF3O2, with a molecular weight of 250.60. The MDL number is MFCD00511276. It is a fluorinated 1,3-diketone bearing a 4-chlorophenyl group and a trifluoromethyl group.
What grade and purity does Tech Serve Solutions supply?
+
Tech Serve Solutions supplies this compound at a typical assay of 97% as a research-grade fine chemical. We do not represent it as USP, BP or EP pharmacopoeia grade. A certificate of analysis can be provided with each consignment, and specific grade or purity requirements can be discussed at the enquiry stage.
How should 1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-4,4,4-trifluoro-1,3-butanedione be handled and stored?
+
Handle it as a laboratory chemical using suitable engineering controls and personal protective equipment, including eye protection, gloves and, where airborne exposure is possible, an N95 (US) or P1 (EN 143) respirator filter. It is classified WGK 3 in Germany, meaning it is severely hazardous to water, so prevent release to drains, soil and watercourses. Store the solid sealed and cool; the reported melting point is 60-64 °C. Always consult the current Safety Data Sheet before use.
