Description

S-(n-Perfluorooctyl)Dibenzothiophenium Trifluoro-Methanesulfonate is a highly fluorinated sulfonium salt, a specialized class of organofluorine compound. This material is valued for its unique properties as a potent electrophilic perfluoroalkylating agent, enabling the introduction of a highly hydrophobic and chemically stable perfluorooctyl group into target molecules. It is primarily utilized by researchers and process chemists in advanced organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty materials where fluorination is critical for modulating biological activity, stability, or surface properties.

Application

• Advanced Organic Synthesis: As a key reagent for electrophilic perfluoroalkylation reactions in complex molecule construction.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: For the synthesis of fluorinated drug candidates to enhance metabolic stability, bioavailability, and binding affinity.
• Agrochemical Research: In the development of novel fluorinated pesticides and herbicides with improved environmental persistence and efficacy.
• Specialty Material Production: For creating fluorinated monomers, polymers, and surface modifiers with unique hydrophobic, oleophobic, and chemical resistance properties.
• Liquid Crystal & Electronic Material Development: As a building block for fluorinated components in display technologies and semiconductor applications.
• Catalysis & Ligand Design: For synthesizing novel fluorinated ligands and catalysts used in asymmetric synthesis and other catalytic processes.

Quality Control

Every batch of S-(n-Perfluorooctyl)Dibenzothiophenium Trifluoro-Methanesulfonate is produced and analyzed under strict quality protocols to ensure consistency and reliability for research and development purposes. While this is a discontinued product, representative specifications from historical batches are available. We maintain traceability and provide comprehensive analytical data. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and relevant impurity profiles is supplied with each shipment to support your quality assurance requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent decomposition. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and reducing agents.
