Description

7-Chloro-1H,1H-Perfluoroheptan-1-Ol is a specialized fluorinated alcohol building block, distinguished by its unique combination of a terminal chlorine atom and a perfluorinated carbon chain. This structure is critical for introducing both hydrophobicity and oleophobicity into advanced materials, enabling surface modification and functionalization. It is essential for R&D and production in industries such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and high-performance materials, where precise fluorination is required to alter chemical and physical properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthon for introducing fluorinated moieties into active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of novel herbicides and pesticides, where the fluorinated chain improves weather resistance and biological activity.
• Surface Modifiers & Coatings: Acts as a precursor for creating low surface energy coatings, imparting water, oil, and stain repellency to textiles, electronics, and optical devices.
• Fluorinated Surfactants & Polymers: A fundamental monomer for synthesizing specialty fluorosurfactants and fluoropolymers used in fire-fighting foams, electronics, and aerospace applications.
• Material Science Research: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new fluorocarbon chemistry and developing advanced functional materials.

Quality Control

Our 7-Chloro-1H,1H-Perfluoroheptan-1-Ol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong bases and sources of ignition. Due to its sensitivity to fluoride/strong alkali, ensure it is stored separately from incompatible materials.
