Description

Pentafluoroiodobenzene (CAS No. 827-15-6) is a highly fluorinated aromatic compound with the molecular formula C₆F₅I. This organoiodine reagent is characterized by its five fluorine atoms and one iodine atom attached to a benzene ring, making it a valuable intermediate in synthetic organic chemistry. Its IUPAC name is 1,2,3,4,5-pentafluoro-6-iodobenzene, and it is also known by several synonyms, including Iodopentafluorobenzene and Iodoperfluorobenzene.

With a purity of ??98%, our Pentafluoroiodobenzene is ideal for nucleophilic substitution reactions, cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Suzuki-Miyaura coupling), and as a precursor for pentafluorophenyl derivatives. The compound is supplied as a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid with a density of ~2.1 g/cm³ and a boiling point of approximately 168-170??C. It is packaged under inert gas to ensure stability and shipped in amber glass bottles to prevent light degradation.

Key Applications: Fluorinated building block, pharmaceutical intermediates, agrochemical synthesis, and material science research. Store in a cool, dry place away from oxidizing agents and strong bases.

Application

Pentafluoroiodobenzene is widely used as a fluorinated aryl iodide precursor in cross-coupling reactions, enabling the synthesis of complex polyfluorinated aromatic compounds. It serves as a key reagent in the preparation of liquid crystals and pharmaceutical intermediates due to its electron-withdrawing pentafluorophenyl group. Researchers also employ it in material science for modifying surfaces or creating fluorinated polymers with unique properties.
