Description

7H-Dodecafluoroheptanoyl Chloride is a highly fluorinated acid chloride derivative, a key building block for introducing perfluoroalkyl chains into target molecules. Its value lies in its ability to impart exceptional chemical resistance, thermal stability, and hydrophobic/oleophobic properties to advanced materials. This compound is essential for R&D and production in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries, where tailored fluorination is required.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Production of novel herbicides and pesticides with improved environmental persistence and efficacy.
• Fluorinated Surfactant & Polymer Precursor: Key monomer for creating high-performance fluorosurfactants, coatings, and elastomers with oil, water, and chemical resistance.
• Liquid Crystal & Electronic Material: Used in the synthesis of fluorinated liquid crystals and dielectric materials for advanced displays and electronics.
• Surface Modification Agent: Imparts low surface energy and release properties to textiles, membranes, and composite materials.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: A versatile reagent for Friedel-Crafts acylation and other reactions to introduce perfluoroheptanoyl groups.

Quality Control

Our 7H-Dodecafluoroheptanoyl Chloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and titration methods, to ensure high purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent hydrolysis. Keep away from strong bases, alcohols, and water.
