Product Information

• Name: 1-Fluorocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-Fluorocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid is a fluorinated carboxylic acid that is an intermediate in the synthesis of the drug Covid-19, which has antiviral activity against pandemic influenza. The compound has a unique conformational property, which allows it to bind to the e3 ubiquitin ligase. This binding activates the ligase and leads to ubiquitin conjugation of proteins. 1-Fluorocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid is also used as a reagent for chemical studies. It can be used as an acceptor or hydrogen donor in intramolecular reactions, and it can form strong dipole interactions with phenoxy groups. 1-Fluorocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid is also bifunctional; it binds to two different molecules at once and has strong hydrogen bonding properties with fluorine atoms.
