Description

2,3,3,4,4,4-Hexafluoro-1-Iodobut-1-Ene is a highly fluorinated organic iodide building block, valued for its unique combination of a reactive vinyl iodide moiety and a perfluorinated alkyl chain. This compound is essential for introducing hexafluoroisopropylidene-like units into target molecules, significantly altering their physical and chemical properties. It is primarily used by researchers and process chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for the synthesis of novel fluorinated compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for synthesizing fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of novel fluorinated pesticides and herbicides, where fluorine atoms can improve efficacy and environmental profile.
• Advanced Material Precursor: Serves as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the creation of specialty polymers with enhanced chemical resistance, low surface energy, and unique optical properties.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Incorporated into the core structures of fluorinated liquid crystals and organic light-emitting diode (OLED) materials to fine-tune electronic properties and stability.
• Fluorinated Surfactant & Coatings: Acts as a key intermediate for producing high-performance, oil- and water-repellent surface treatments and coatings.
• Cross-Coupling Reactions: The vinyl iodide group participates in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Heck, Suzuki, Stille) to construct complex fluorinated architectures.

Quality Control

Our 2,3,3,4,4,4-Hexafluoro-1-Iodobut-1-Ene is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR, GC, and HPLC, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory 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 acids and incompatible organic solvents. Due to the light-sensitive nature and reactive iodide group, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability.
