Hansa Fine Chemicals GmbH was created as a University of Bremen (Germany) spin-off and was launched as a Limited Company (GmbH) in February 2003. The company?s operating base are state of the art laboratories and offices located within the University of Bremen Chemistry Department. HFC is entirely independent of any other companies or research establishments and is solely owned by its working partners. We are used to working within a strictly controlled, confidential and if desired exclusive environment with our clients that ensures all sensitive data, results and analysis is protected. We are a research driven company and offer our clients world leading know-how in the fields of fluoro and phosphorus chemicals, reagents for fluorination, perfluoroalkylation and fluorinated building blocks for the synthesis of compounds with potential or established biological activity. These proprietary technologies are new methods that allow the production of complex molecules under greater control than the conventional techniques used in most laboratories. It permits the synthesis of novel compounds under commercially accessible conditions for the first time. A key competence is the production of new types of compounds. In many cases complex multi-component molecules, which were either too difficult or impossible to prepare by other fluorination methods, can be designed and synthesised. These compounds are ideally suited for high added-value sectors such as healthcare, pharmaceutical, agro-chemical, additives and microelectronics. The core product list encompasses compounds in the following categories: Phosphorus compounds Hexaalkylguanidinium salts Fluorinated carbinols F, CF3 aromatics Fluorinated ligands and building blocks Fluorinated heterocycles and diketones Fluorinated amines and imines In addition, Hansa Fine Chemicals, using a variety of synthesis strategies and analysis techniques, offers services in three main areas: custom fluoro synthesis in gram to kilogram quantities on an ad hoc basis contract research projects process analysis and characterisation Synthesis techniques using: Elemental fluorine Sulfurtetrafluoride, DAST, Deoxofluor HF/base Perfluoroalkylating reagents Special Processes: Fluorination Perfluoroalkylation Halex catalyst design Halex process Fluorodenitration
