Description

1-Iodo-8H-Perfluorooctane is a highly fluorinated organic iodide compound, serving as a critical building block for introducing perfluoroalkyl segments into target molecules. Its unique structure, combining a reactive iodine terminus with a lipophobic and chemically inert perfluorinated chain, makes it invaluable for advanced material synthesis. This specialty chemical is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and high-performance materials sectors seeking to modify surface properties and enhance chemical stability.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of fluorinated drug candidates to improve metabolic stability and membrane permeability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key precursor for creating fluorinated pesticides and herbicides with enhanced efficacy and environmental persistence.
• Surface Modification Agent: Imparts oil-, water-, and stain-repellent characteristics to textiles, coatings, and polymers.
• Fluorinated Surfactant & Polymer Precursor: A building block for synthesizing specialty surfactants, fluoropolymers, and elastomers with exceptional thermal and chemical resistance.
• Material Science Research: Employed in R&D for developing novel fluorinated materials, including liquid crystals and electronic coatings.
• Nucleophilic Perfluoroalkylation Reagent: Acts as a source of perfluorooctyl groups in organic synthesis under various conditions.

Quality Control

Our 1-Iodo-8H-Perfluorooctane is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. 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, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each 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). Keep away from strong acids and incompatible organic solvents. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be amber-colored or stored in light-resistant packaging.
