Description

1,1,1,2,2,3,3-Heptafluoro-7-Iodoheptane, 94% is a high-value fluorinated organic intermediate characterized by its unique perfluoroalkyl chain terminated with a reactive iodine atom. This compound matters for its role as a key building block in the synthesis of sophisticated fluorinated materials, offering enhanced chemical stability and specific surface properties. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors, particularly for creating novel surfactants, polymers, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of fluorinated drug candidates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to improve metabolic stability and bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key precursor for developing advanced fluorinated pesticides and herbicides with enhanced efficacy and environmental persistence.
• Fluorinated Surfactant & Polymer Production: Acts as a telomer or monomer for creating specialty fluorosurfactants and high-performance polymers with oil, water, and stain repellency.
• Material Science R&D: Employed in surface modification and the development of coatings with low surface energy and unique dielectric properties.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Utilized in nucleophilic substitution and coupling reactions (e.g., Kumada, Negishi) to introduce perfluoroalkyl segments into complex molecules.
• Liquid Crystal & Electronic Material Precursor: A potential intermediate in the manufacture of fluorinated liquid crystals and electronic chemicals.

Quality Control

Our 1,1,1,2,2,3,3-Heptafluoro-7-Iodoheptane, 94% is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided and available upon request, supporting compliance with relevant R&D and industrial standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong acids, bases, and incompatible organic solvents. Due to its light-sensitive nature and organic iodide content, prolonged exposure to light or heat should be avoided to maintain product integrity.
