Description

1,1,1,2,2,3,3-Heptafluoro-6-Hydroxy-5-Iodohexane, 2-Iodo-3-(Perfluoropropyl)Propan-1-Ol is a specialized fluorinated and iodinated organic building block, offering a unique combination of a perfluorinated alkyl chain, an iodine atom, and a terminal hydroxyl group. This trifunctional structure is critical for synthesizing advanced materials with tailored surface properties, chemical resistance, and reactivity. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for developing novel compounds, including surfactants, polymers, and bioactive molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthon for introducing fluorine and iodine atoms into drug candidates, potentially enhancing metabolic stability, lipophilicity, and binding affinity.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of novel pesticides and herbicides, where the fluorinated segment can improve weather resistance and biological activity.
• Fluorinated Surfactant & Polymer Precursor: The hydroxyl and perfluoroalkyl groups make it a valuable monomer or modifier for creating specialty fluorosurfactants and high-performance polymers with oil- and water-repellent characteristics.
• Material Science Research: Employed in surface modification and the synthesis of advanced materials, such as liquid crystals and coatings, requiring specific chemical and thermal resistance.
• Diagnostic Agent Development: The iodine atom provides a potential site for radiolabeling (e.g., with I-125 or I-131) for use in medical imaging or therapeutic research compounds.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Utilized in cross-coupling reactions and nucleophilic substitutions to construct complex molecular architectures in academic and industrial laboratories.

Quality Control

Our 1,1,1,2,2,3,3-Heptafluoro-6-Hydroxy-5-Iodohexane is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to the light-sensitive nature and reactive iodine moiety, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability.
