Description

1-Iodo-1H,1H,2H,2H-Perfluorotetradecane is a high-value perfluoroalkyl iodide, a key intermediate in the synthesis of advanced fluorinated materials. Its unique structure, featuring a long perfluorinated chain terminated by an iodine atom, makes it an essential building block for introducing fluorinated segments into target molecules. This compound is primarily utilized by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty materials industries for applications requiring extreme hydrophobicity, oleophobicity, and chemical resistance.

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 key precursor for creating fluorinated pesticides and herbicides, improving their rainfastness and environmental persistence.
• Surface Modification Agent: Employed to create ultra-hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings for textiles, electronics, and optical devices.
• Fluoropolymer Production: Acts as a chain-transfer agent or telomer in the controlled synthesis of specialty fluoropolymers and fluoroelastomers.
• Material Science Research: A critical reagent for developing novel fluorinated surfactants, lubricants, and fire-fighting foams.
• Lithium Battery Electrolyte Additive: Investigated for use in creating stable solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) layers in high-performance batteries.

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 heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be amber glass or opaque. For long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) to maintain optimal purity.
