Perfluoro-n-heptyl Iodide: Properties and Synthesis Applications
Perfluoro-n-heptyl iodide, scientifically known as 1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7-pentadecafluoro-7-iodoheptane and identified by CAS 335-58-0, is a significant compound in the field of organofluorine chemistry. Its structure, a seven-carbon chain fully saturated with fluorine atoms except for a terminal iodine atom, endows it with a unique set of properties that are highly valuable in synthetic chemistry.
The physical properties of Perfluoro-n-heptyl Iodide include its state as a liquid, a density of approximately 2.01 g/cm³, and a boiling point around 137-138°C. These characteristics are typical for perfluorinated compounds of similar molecular weight. The compound exhibits low solubility in water but good solubility in many organic solvents, a consequence of its highly fluorinated nature. The presence of the iodine atom, however, introduces a degree of polarity and reactivity not found in fully saturated perfluoroalkanes.
From a synthesis perspective, Perfluoro-n-heptyl Iodide serves as an excellent precursor for introducing the perfluoroheptyl group into various organic molecules. The carbon-iodine bond is relatively weak and can be cleaved homolytically or heterolytically, enabling participation in a wide array of chemical transformations. Common applications include free-radical addition reactions to alkenes or alkynes, nucleophilic substitution reactions, and metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. These reactions are vital for creating advanced materials, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals that benefit from the exceptional properties conferred by perfluorination.
