Description

1,4-Diiodooctafluorobutane is a high-purity fluorinated organic compound characterized by its perfluorinated carbon chain terminated with iodine atoms. This structure makes it a valuable intermediate and building block in advanced chemical synthesis, particularly for introducing fluorinated segments. It is essential for manufacturers and R&D facilities in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty materials sectors seeking to develop novel compounds with enhanced properties such as chemical stability, lipophilicity, and bioactivity.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key precursor in the synthesis of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and diagnostic agents.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used to create novel fluorinated pesticides and herbicides with improved environmental persistence and efficacy.
• Fluorinated Polymer & Material Science: Acts as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the production of specialty fluoropolymers, coatings, and elastomers with exceptional chemical and thermal resistance.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Utilized in coupling reactions (e.g., Ullmann-type) to construct complex fluorinated architectures for research and development.
• Liquid Crystal & Electronic Materials: Employed in the development of fluorinated components for liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and dielectric fluids.
• Surface Modification Agent: Used to impart hydrophobic and oleophobic properties to various surfaces.

Quality Control

Our 1,4-Diiodooctafluorobutane is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including GC, HPLC, and NMR to ensure high chemical purity and identity confirmation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee consistency and traceability for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and organic solvents. Recommended storage temperature is between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) to maximize shelf-life stability. Allow the container to reach ambient temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
