Description

7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,11,11,12,12,12-Tridecafluoro-5-Iodododecane is a highly fluorinated, iodine-functionalized alkane, a specialized building block prized for its unique combination of hydrophobicity, oleophobicity, and chemical reactivity. This compound matters for its role in introducing perfluoroalkyl segments and iodine handles into target molecules, enabling the synthesis of advanced materials with tailored surface properties. It is needed by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty materials sectors, particularly for developing fluorinated surfactants, polymers, and bioactive compounds.

Application

• Fluorinated Surfactant & Polymer Synthesis: A key intermediate for creating non-ionic and anionic fluorosurfactants with exceptional wetting and leveling properties for coatings and fire-fighting foams.
• Pharmaceutical & Agrochemical Intermediates: Used to incorporate stable perfluoroalkyl chains into drug candidates or active ingredients to modulate lipophilicity, metabolic stability, and bioavailability.
• Surface Modification Agents: Serves as a precursor for grafting fluorinated monolayers onto surfaces (glass, metals, polymers) to impart oil, water, and stain resistance.
• Liquid Crystal & Electronic Material Development: Employed in the synthesis of fluorinated liquid crystals and organic semiconductors for display and electronic applications.
• Radical Telomerization & Polymerization: Acts as a chain-transfer agent or initiator in controlled radical polymerization processes to produce well-defined fluoropolymers.
• Bioconjugation & Probe Chemistry: The iodine moiety allows for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, useful for labeling and tracer studies.

Quality Control

Our 7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,11,11,12,12,12-Tridecafluoro-5-Iodododecane is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure high chemical purity and structural identity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles. Our quality system is designed to meet the stringent requirements of research and development as well as scale-up production across global markets.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, handling and transfer should be minimized under direct light exposure. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon to maintain product integrity.
