CAS 376-72-7: ω-Hydroperfluorovaleric acid

Description: ω-Hydroperfluorovaleric acid, with the CAS number 376-72-7, is a perfluorinated carboxylic acid characterized by a long carbon chain fully substituted with fluorine atoms, except for the terminal carboxylic acid group. This unique structure imparts distinct properties, such as high thermal stability and resistance to chemical degradation, making it useful in various applications. The presence of the hydroperoxide functional group contributes to its reactivity, particularly in oxidation reactions. ω-Hydroperfluorovaleric acid is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and exhibits low surface tension and high hydrophobicity due to the fluorinated carbon chain. Its solubility in water is limited, but it can dissolve in organic solvents. The compound is of interest in the fields of materials science and environmental chemistry, particularly concerning its potential effects on human health and the environment, as perfluorinated compounds are known for their persistence and bioaccumulation. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this substance due to its potential reactivity and environmental impact.
