Description

4,5,5,6,6,6-Hexafluoro-2-Iodo-4-(Trifluoromethyl)Hexan-1-Ol is a highly fluorinated organic building block of significant interest in advanced chemical synthesis. Its unique structure, featuring multiple fluorine atoms and an iodine substituent, makes it a valuable precursor for introducing fluorinated motifs into target molecules. This compound is primarily utilized by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for the development of novel active ingredients with potentially enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthon in the research and development of new drug candidates, particularly for introducing lipophilic and metabolically stable fluorinated groups.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in creating novel pesticides and herbicides where fluorination can improve activity, selectivity, and environmental persistence.
• Material Science Research: Acts as a monomer or modifier in the development of specialty polymers and coatings with unique surface properties, such as oil and water repellency.
• Liquid Crystal & Electronic Chemicals: Employed in the synthesis of fluorinated components for advanced display materials and dielectric fluids.
• Radiolabeling Precursor: The iodine atom provides a potential site for radiolabeling (e.g., with I-125) for use in tracer studies and diagnostic imaging research.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Utilized in cross-coupling reactions and nucleophilic substitutions to construct complex, fluorinated molecular architectures in academic and industrial laboratories.

Quality Control

Our 4,5,5,6,6,6-Hexafluoro-2-Iodo-4-(Trifluoromethyl)Hexan-1-Ol is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR (¹H, ¹⁹F, ¹³C), HPLC, and GC analysis, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and organic halogen content, the container should be kept in a secondary containment and away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and reducing agents.
