Description

1,2-Dibromo-3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-Tridecafluorooct-1-Ene, also known as 1,2-Dibromo-1-(Perfluorohex-1-Yl)Ethylene, is a specialized fluorinated organic building block featuring a terminal alkene functionalized with bromine atoms. This compound matters for its unique combination of a reactive dihaloalkene moiety and a highly fluorinated perfluorohexyl chain, which imparts exceptional chemical stability, hydrophobicity, and oleophobicity. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for synthesizing novel fluorinated compounds, polymers, and surface-active agents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthon for introducing fluorinated segments into drug candidates to enhance metabolic stability, bioavailability, and membrane permeability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of novel fluorinated pesticides and herbicides, where the fluorine atoms can improve activity and environmental persistence profiles.
• Fluoropolymer Modification: Acts as a comonomer or cross-linking agent in the synthesis of specialty fluoropolymers and elastomers with tailored properties like oil and solvent resistance.
• Surface Chemistry & Coatings: Employed to create low-surface-energy coatings, surfactants, and water/oil repellent treatments for textiles, electronics, and aerospace materials.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: A valuable precursor for synthesizing fluorinated components used in display and optoelectronic technologies.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Utilized in various coupling reactions (e.g., Suzuki, Heck) and cycloadditions to construct complex, fluorinated molecular architectures.
