Description

E/Z-1-Iodo-2-(Heptafluoropropyl)Cyclohexane is a high-value fluorinated organic intermediate, distinguished by its unique combination of a cyclohexane ring, iodine, and a perfluorinated alkyl chain. This structure makes it a critical building block for introducing fluorine and iodine functionalities into target molecules, enabling the synthesis of advanced materials with tailored properties. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for applications requiring precise molecular modification.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of novel fluorinated drug candidates, particularly in medicinal chemistry for creating compounds with improved metabolic stability and bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key precursor for developing next-generation fluorinated pesticides and herbicides, where the fluorine atoms enhance biological activity and environmental persistence.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Material Research: Employed in the development of fluorinated components for advanced display technologies, contributing to improved dielectric anisotropy and thermal stability.
• Polymer & Surface Modifier: Acts as a monomer or grafting agent for creating fluoropolymers or imparting oil, water, and stain repellency to surfaces.
• Cross-Coupling Reactions: The iodine atom makes it a valuable substrate in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Suzuki, Heck) for constructing complex fluorinated architectures.
• Radiotracer & Imaging Agent Precursor: The iodine moiety allows for potential radioiodination, making it a candidate precursor for developing diagnostic imaging agents.

Quality Control

Our E/Z-1-Iodo-2-(Heptafluoropropyl)Cyclohexane is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, NMR, and FTIR, to verify identity, isomeric ratio (E/Z), purity, and impurity profiles. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with your research and development specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong acids and incompatible organic solvents. Due to the light-sensitive nature of the iodoalkane moiety, containers should be amber glass or opaque.
