Description

2-Iodo-1H,1H,1H,2H,3H,3H-Perfluorodecane is a highly fluorinated organic iodide compound, serving as a critical building block for introducing perfluoroalkyl chains into target molecules. Its value lies in its unique combination of a reactive iodine handle and the exceptional chemical, thermal, and hydrophobic stability imparted by the perfluorinated segment. This specialty chemical is essential for researchers and manufacturers in advanced material science, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals who require precise functionalization to create compounds with tailored surface properties and enhanced performance.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly for introducing fluorinated moieties to improve metabolic stability, bioavailability, and membrane permeability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key precursor for developing advanced fluorinated pesticides and herbicides, where the perfluoroalkyl group can enhance weather resistance and biological activity.
• Surface Modification & Coatings: Employed to create low-surface-energy coatings for textiles, electronics, and optics, providing oil, water, and stain repellency.
• Fluorinated Surfactant & Polymer Production: Acts as a monomer or chain-transfer agent in the synthesis of specialty fluoropolymers and surfactants used in fire-fighting foams, lubricants, and advanced electronics.
• Material Science Research: A valuable reagent for academic and industrial R&D focused on developing new fluorinated materials with specific electronic or hydrophobic characteristics.
• Liquid Crystal & Display Technology: Utilized in the synthesis of fluorinated liquid crystals for high-performance displays due to their low viscosity and high chemical stability.

Quality Control

Our 2-Iodo-1H,1H,1H,2H,3H,3H-Perfluorodecane is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for demanding synthetic applications. We employ advanced analytical techniques including GC, HPLC, NMR, and FTIR for comprehensive characterization. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment, and our quality system supports compliance with relevant research and industrial standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong acids and incompatible organic solvents. Due to the light-sensitive nature of the carbon-iodine bond, prolonged exposure to light should be avoided to prevent decomposition.
