CAS 83310-97-8: 4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,7-nonafluoroheptan-1-ol
Description:4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,7-nonafluoroheptan-1-ol is a fluorinated alcohol characterized by its long carbon chain and multiple fluorine substituents. This compound features a heptane backbone with nine fluorine atoms attached to the carbon chain, significantly influencing its physical and chemical properties. The presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group classifies it as an alcohol, contributing to its potential solubility in polar solvents while the fluorinated structure imparts unique characteristics such as low surface tension and high thermal stability. Due to the fluorine atoms, this compound exhibits hydrophobic behavior, making it useful in various applications, including surfactants and specialty chemicals. Its high electronegativity and low reactivity with many organic compounds can also enhance its stability under various conditions. However, the environmental impact and regulatory considerations of fluorinated compounds are important, as they can persist in the environment and may have implications for human health. Overall, 4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,7-nonafluoroheptan-1-ol is notable for its unique combination of properties derived from both its fluorinated structure and alcohol functional group.
