Description

7,7,8-Tribromo-1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6-Tridecafluorooctane, 2,2-Dibromo-2-(Perfluorohex-1-Yl)Ethyl Bromide, 2-(Perfluorohex-1-Yl)-1,2,2-Tribromoethane is a highly fluorinated and brominated organic compound, serving as a critical intermediate in advanced chemical synthesis. Its unique structure, combining a perfluoroalkyl chain with multiple bromine atoms, makes it a valuable building block for introducing fluorinated segments and reactive sites into target molecules. This specialty chemical is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors who require precise fluorination and functionalization capabilities.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring fluorinated motifs to enhance metabolic stability, bioavailability, and lipophilicity.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key precursor for developing advanced herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides where the introduction of fluorine atoms improves efficacy and environmental profile.
• Fluorinated Surfactant & Polymer Production: Acts as a monomer or chain-transfer agent in the creation of specialty fluoropolymers, surfactants, and coatings that demand oil, water, and chemical resistance.
• Liquid Crystal & Electronic Materials: Employed in the development of fluorinated liquid crystals and dielectric fluids for high-performance electronic displays and cooling applications.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Provides a versatile perfluoroalkyl synthon for nucleophilic substitution and cross-coupling reactions in complex molecule construction.
• Research & Development: Utilized in academic and industrial R&D labs for exploring new reactions and properties of heavily halogenated compounds.

Quality Control

Our production of 7,7,8-Tribromo-1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6-Tridecafluorooctane adheres to stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiling. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided and can be tailored to meet specific customer or regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are securely sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability, though short-term storage at 15-25°C is acceptable.
