Perfluorobutyl iodide Usage And Synthesis

Description

Perfluorobutyl iodide (PFBI) is a promising alternative to chlorofluorocarbon solvents used in aircraft ground maintenance operations and other military and commercial operations because it cleans well, has zero ozone depletion potential, and has extremely low global warming properties. Perfluorobutyl iodides also could used as gain media for a solar-pumped laser amplifier. This compound is usually utilized as perfluoroalkyl radical precursors[1–3].

Chemical Properties

clear colourless liquid with pungent odour

Uses

Perfluorobutyl Iodide is used as an organocatalyst in some polymerization reactions.
