Description

3-Perfluorohexyl-1,2-epoxypropane (CAS No. 38565-52-5) is a highly specialized fluorinated epoxy compound with the molecular formula C₉H₅F₁₃O. Its IUPAC name, 2-(2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,7-tridecafluoroheptyl)oxirane, reflects its unique perfluorohexyl chain attached to an oxirane (epoxide) ring. This compound is characterized by its exceptional chemical stability, hydrophobicity, and oleophobicity due to the presence of perfluorinated carbons. It is commonly used as a precursor in the synthesis of advanced fluorinated polymers, surfactants, and coatings, where its reactive epoxide group enables further functionalization. Available in high purity grades (≥98%), it is supplied in sealed containers to ensure stability and prevent moisture absorption. Ideal for researchers in materials science, surface chemistry, and specialty polymer development.
