Description

5,5,6,6,7,7,7-Heptafluoro-3-Iodo-1-Heptanol is a high-value, multi-functional fluorinated building block characterized by its unique combination of a terminal alcohol group, a strategically placed iodine atom, and a perfluoroalkyl chain. This molecular architecture makes it a critical intermediate for synthesizing advanced materials and specialty chemicals where introducing fluorine and iodine functionalities is required. It is primarily sought after by R&D and production teams in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for applications in medicinal chemistry, liquid crystal development, and surface modification.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthon for introducing fluorinated and iodinated motifs into drug candidates, potentially enhancing metabolic stability, lipophilicity, and binding affinity.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of novel pesticides and herbicides, where the fluorine atoms can improve biological activity and environmental persistence.
• Liquid Crystal Materials: Acts as a precursor for fluorinated mesogens, contributing to the desired dielectric anisotropy and low viscosity in display technologies.
• Surface Active Agents & Coatings: The perfluoroalkyl segment enables the synthesis of specialty surfactants and polymers for creating oil-, water-, and stain-repellent surfaces.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: The reactive iodine and alcohol groups allow for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Suzuki, Sonogashira) and esterification, facilitating complex molecule construction.
• Material Science Research: Employed in developing novel fluorinated polymers and dendrimers with unique thermal and chemical resistance properties.

Quality Control

Our 5,5,6,6,7,7,7-Heptafluoro-3-Iodo-1-Heptanol is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and scale-up applications. We employ advanced analytical techniques including GC, HPLC, NMR, and FTIR for comprehensive characterization. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and reactive functional groups, prolonged exposure to light or elevated temperatures should be avoided to maintain product integrity.
