Description

4-Iodohexafluorobutyryl Fluoride is a highly reactive perfluorinated acyl fluoride intermediate. This compound is valued for its ability to introduce the perfluoroalkyl chain and a versatile iodine handle into target molecules, enabling further functionalization. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for synthesizing novel fluorinated compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and diagnostic agents.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in creating novel fluorinated pesticides and herbicides with enhanced stability and efficacy.
• Advanced Material Precursor: Serves as a monomer or modifier in the production of specialty polymers, coatings, and surfactants with unique hydrophobic and oleophobic properties.
• Liquid Crystal & Electronic Chemicals: Employed in the development of fluorinated components for display technologies and electronic materials.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Acts as a versatile reagent for introducing perfluorobutyl groups and for subsequent cross-coupling reactions via the iodine substituent.
• Research & Development: Critical tool in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new fluorination methodologies and compound libraries.

Quality Control

Our 4-Iodohexafluorobutyryl Fluoride is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR, GC, and FTIR, to ensure high purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and highly volatile nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) and away from moisture. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
