Description

5-Iodoundecafluoropentane (CAS 638-79-9) is a highly fluorinated organic compound with the molecular formula C₅F₁₁I. This specialty chemical is characterized by its undecafluorinated pentane backbone substituted with an iodine atom at the 5-position, offering unique reactivity and physicochemical properties. As a perfluorinated alkyl iodide, it serves as a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated polymers, surfactants, and other advanced materials.

With exceptional thermal and chemical stability due to its strong C-F bonds, this compound is particularly useful in applications requiring inertness to harsh conditions. The iodine moiety provides a reactive handle for further functionalization via radical or nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it a versatile building block for fluorochemical research.

Our product is supplied with comprehensive analytical data including GC purity, NMR, and MS characterization to ensure quality and consistency for your research needs. Proper handling precautions should be observed as with all iodinated compounds.
