Description

Perfluoroheptanoyl Bromide is a highly fluorinated acyl bromide derivative, a key building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its primary value lies in its ability to introduce the highly stable and hydrophobic perfluoroheptanoyl moiety into target molecules, imparting unique properties such as chemical resistance, thermal stability, and low surface energy. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty materials sectors, particularly for developing fluorinated active ingredients, surfactants, and performance polymers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Synthesis of fluorinated drug candidates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Production of novel fluorinated pesticides and herbicides with improved efficacy and environmental persistence.
• Fluorinated Surfactant & Polymer Precursor: Key monomer for creating high-performance fluorosurfactants, coatings, and polymers with exceptional oil, water, and stain repellency.
• Material Science Research: Used to modify surface properties of materials, creating superhydrophobic or oleophobic coatings for textiles, electronics, and optics.
• Liquid Crystal & Electronic Chemicals: Intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated liquid crystals and dielectric fluids for advanced display and electronic applications.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: A versatile reagent for Friedel-Crafts acylation and other reactions to introduce perfluoroalkyl chains under controlled conditions.

Quality Control

Our Perfluoroheptanoyl Bromide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure high purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your R&D and production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent decomposition. Keep away from strong bases and oxidizing agents.
