Description

2-Iodo-1,1,1,4,4,4-Hexafluorobutane is a specialized fluorinated organic iodide compound valued for its unique combination of a reactive iodine center and a highly fluorinated alkyl chain. This structure makes it a versatile building block and intermediate in advanced chemical synthesis, particularly where the introduction of fluorine or iodine is required. It is primarily used by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials science industries for developing novel compounds with tailored properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key precursor in the synthesis of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and diagnostic agents.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of novel fluorinated pesticides and herbicides, where fluorine atoms can enhance biological activity and stability.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Acts as a reagent for introducing perfluorobutyl or iodine groups into target molecules via substitution or coupling reactions.
• Materials Science Research: Employed in the creation of fluorinated polymers, liquid crystals, or surface modifiers to alter chemical resistance and surface properties.
• Electrophilic Iodination Agent: Utilized in reactions where a source of electrophilic iodine is needed under specific conditions.

Quality Control

Our 2-Iodo-1,1,1,4,4,4-Hexafluorobutane is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopy (NMR, IR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all relevant specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee it meets your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from strong acids and organic solvents. Recommended storage temperature is between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) to maximize shelf-life stability. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture ingress and volatilization.
