Description

7H-Perfluoroheptanoyl Fluoride is a high-purity perfluorinated acyl fluoride, a key reactive intermediate in advanced fluorochemical synthesis. Its value lies in its ability to introduce the highly stable and hydrophobic perfluoroheptyl chain into target molecules, imparting unique properties such as extreme chemical resistance, low surface energy, and thermal stability. This compound is essential for manufacturers and R&D teams in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty materials sectors developing next-generation fluorinated products.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and diagnostic agents requiring perfluoroalkyl groups for metabolic stability or imaging properties.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Building block for novel fluorinated pesticides and herbicides, where the perfluoroalkyl group enhances biological activity and environmental persistence.
• Fluorinated Surfactants & Polymers: Key monomer for producing high-performance surfactants, coatings, and polymers with exceptional oil, water, and stain repellency.
• Specialty Materials: Used in the creation of advanced materials for electronics, aerospace, and textiles that demand extreme chemical inertness and thermal resistance.
• Laboratory Research: A critical reagent in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new fluorination chemistry and material science applications.

Quality Control

Every batch of 7H-Perfluoroheptanoyl Fluoride is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the product meets the precise requirements for advanced synthetic applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is supplied with each shipment, reporting key parameters such as purity (by GC and NMR), identity (IR), and moisture content. Our quality commitment supports compliance with cGMP and ISO 9001 standards where applicable.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and reacts vigorously with strong acids, bases, and alcohols. Keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
