Description

7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10-Octafluoro-5,10-Diiodo-1-Decene is a highly fluorinated, diiodo-functionalized alkene that serves as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its unique structure, featuring a terminal alkene and two iodine atoms on a perfluorinated carbon chain, makes it a versatile precursor for creating complex fluorinated molecules. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty materials sectors who require precise fluorination to modify solubility, stability, and biological activity.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of novel fluorinated drug candidates, particularly in oncology and central nervous system (CNS) therapeutics, to enhance metabolic stability and membrane permeability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key precursor for developing next-generation fluorinated pesticides and herbicides with improved efficacy and environmental profiles.
• Fluorinated Polymer & Material Science: A valuable monomer or cross-linking agent for creating specialty polymers with exceptional chemical resistance, low surface energy, and thermal stability.
• Liquid Crystal & Electronic Materials: Employed in the production of fluorinated components for liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).
• Organic Synthesis & Catalysis: Acts as a versatile reagent in cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Heck, Suzuki) to introduce fluorinated segments into complex organic architectures.
• Surface Modification & Coatings: Used to create hydrophobic and oleophobic surface treatments for textiles, optics, and medical devices.

Quality Control

Our 7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10-Octafluoro-5,10-Diiodo-1-Decene is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR, GC-MS, and HPLC, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with each shipment to support your R&D and production needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong acids and incompatible organic solvents. Due to its light-sensitive nature and potential reactivity, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage.
