Description

1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,6-Tridecafluorohexane-1-Sulphonyl Chloride is a highly fluorinated sulfonyl chloride derivative, a key intermediate in the synthesis of advanced materials and specialty chemicals. Its value lies in the unique combination of the reactive sulphonyl chloride group and the exceptional properties imparted by the perfluorinated alkyl chain, such as high chemical stability, hydrophobicity, and oleophobicity. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and high-performance polymer industries, where it is used to introduce fluorinated sulfonamide or sulfonate functionalities.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a critical building block for synthesizing fluorinated sulfonamide drugs, potentially enhancing metabolic stability and membrane permeability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of novel fluorinated pesticides and herbicides, where the fluorine atoms can improve biological activity and environmental persistence.
• Polymer Modification: Key monomer for creating fluorinated polymers and surfactants with superior oil, water, and stain resistance for coatings and textiles.
• Lithium-Ion Battery Electrolytes: Employed in the development of novel lithium salts (e.g., fluorinated sulfonimides) for next-generation, high-voltage battery electrolytes.
• Catalyst and Ligand Preparation: Facilitates the synthesis of fluorinated ligands for metal catalysis, often improving catalyst solubility and performance in specialized reactions.
• Surface Treatment Agents: Used to create self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) or graft fluorinated groups onto surfaces for low-energy, non-stick applications.

Quality Control

Every batch of 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,6-Tridecafluorohexane-1-Sulphonyl Chloride is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure compliance with relevant industry standards for fine chemical intermediates. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as purity (by GC or HPLC), identity (by IR and NMR), and moisture content. Our quality commitment guarantees material consistency and reliability for your critical synthesis processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent hydrolysis. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C. Keep away from strong bases, oxidizers, and moisture.
