METHYL PERFLUOROOCTANOATE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear colorless liquid

Uses

Methyl perfluorooctanoate may be employed in the following studies:

• Synthesis of monodisperse perfluoroalkyl N-polyethoxylated amides, potential nonionic fluorinated surfactants.
• To investigate the mutual solubility curves of fluorocarbon-hydrocarbon systems.
• Synthesis of fluorine-containing monomer, N-(5-hydroxypent-1-yl)perfluorooctaneamide.
• To investigate the vinyl ether formulations for use in step and flash imprint lithography.
• Preparation of 2-chloro-1,1-dicyano-2-(perfluoroheptyl)ethylene, a precursor for synthesizing perfluorocarbon-soluble dyes.

General Description

Methyl perfluorooctanoate (MePFOA) is reported to be formed during storage of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in methanol. Its physical properties like density, boiling point and refractive index have been determined experimentally.
