Pentafluorophenol (Highly Pure) by Molecular Depot is a highly pure pentafluorophenol, used to form activated esters in solution and solid-phase peptide synthesis. The five fluorine atoms make the phenol strongly electron-poor, so its esters are reactive enough to acylate an amine readily while remaining stable enough to isolate and store. It is used to prepare activated pentafluorophenyl esters for peptide coupling, in solution and solid-phase peptide synthesis and in acylation chemistry. Each unit contains 1 g. MBP supplies Molecular Depot research reagents to research labs in the United States, Canada and worldwide.
