Description

1-Bromo-1H,1H,2H,2H-Perfluorodecane is a high-value fluorinated organic bromide, a key intermediate for introducing perfluoroalkyl chains into target molecules. This compound matters for its unique combination of a reactive bromine terminus and the exceptional chemical, thermal, and hydrophobic stability imparted by its long perfluorinated segment. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for synthesizing surfactants, surface modifiers, and specialty polymers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and diagnostic agents to enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a building block for creating fluorinated pesticides and herbicides with improved environmental persistence and efficacy.
• Fluorinated Surfactant & Polymer Production: A critical monomer for manufacturing high-performance fluorosurfactants, coatings, and elastomers with oil, water, and stain repellency.
• Surface Modification Agent: Used to impart low surface energy and hydrophobic/oleophobic properties to textiles, membranes, and electronic components.
• Material Science R&D: Employed in academic and industrial research to develop novel fluorinated nanomaterials and liquid crystals.
• Lithium-Ion Battery Electrolyte Additive: Investigated for use in enhancing the safety and performance of electrolyte formulations.
