Description

1-Bromo-3-(Heptadecafluorooctyl)-Benzene is a high-value fluorinated aromatic building block, distinguished by its unique combination of a reactive bromine substituent and a long perfluoroalkyl chain. This structure makes it an essential intermediate for synthesizing advanced materials with exceptional chemical resistance, thermal stability, and low surface energy. It is primarily sought after by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries for creating novel surfactants, coatings, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of fluorinated drug candidates, leveraging the metabolic stability and lipophilicity imparted by the perfluoroalkyl group.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in creating advanced, environmentally persistent fluorinated pesticides and herbicides with enhanced efficacy.
• Specialty Polymer & Material Science: Serves as a monomer or modifier for producing fluoropolymers, liquid crystals, and superhydrophobic/oleophobic surface coatings.
• Surfactant & Fluorosurfactant Production: Core precursor for manufacturing high-performance fluorinated surfactants used in fire-fighting foams, coatings, and electronics.
• Organic Electronics: Intermediate in the development of fluorinated organic semiconductors and dielectric materials for OLEDs and thin-film transistors.
• Chemical Research & Development: Versatile substrate for cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Suzuki, Heck) to introduce perfluoroalkylated aromatic segments into complex molecules.

Quality Control

Our 1-Bromo-3-(Heptadecafluorooctyl)-Benzene is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including NMR (¹H, ¹⁹F), GC/HPLC for purity, and identity confirmation by FT-IR to ensure high chemical consistency and lot-to-lot reproducibility. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment. We support cGMP and ISO 9001 standards for research and commercial scale material.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong bases and incompatible organic solvents. The container should be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
