Description

Bis(Heptafluoroisopropyl)Ketone CAS NO 813-44-5 is a highly fluorinated, volatile organic compound characterized by its two perfluoroisopropyl groups attached to a central carbonyl. This unique structure imparts exceptional chemical and thermal stability, making it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing advanced fluorinated materials. It is primarily sought after by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries for applications requiring inert, high-performance fluorochemical building blocks.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where fluorine substitution can enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key precursor for creating advanced herbicides and pesticides with improved environmental persistence and efficacy.
• Fluoropolymer Modification: Acts as a monomer or cross-linking agent to introduce perfluoroisopropyl groups into polymers, enhancing their surface properties, chemical resistance, and thermal stability.
• Specialty Surfactants & Coatings: Utilized to produce high-performance fluorosurfactants and surface treatment agents for textiles, electronics, and aerospace applications.
• Electrolyte Additives: Investigated for use in advanced lithium-ion battery electrolytes to improve high-voltage stability and safety.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Employed in research for constructing complex fluorinated molecules for material science and catalysis.

Quality Control

Our Bis(Heptafluoroisopropyl)Ketone is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistency, meeting the stringent requirements of research and industrial-scale synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee supply reliability and technical compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its highly volatile nature and sensitivity to strong alkalis, keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere if possible and segregated from incompatible materials. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
