1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoro-2-propanol, 99+%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals
1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoro-2-propanol is used for preparing hexafluoroalcohol-functionalized methacrylate polymers for lithographic/nanopatterning materials. It plays an important role in the Friedel-Crafts reactions due to its polarity and high ionizing power. It finds use in sample preparation for GCMS. It also catalyzes the epoxidation of cyclooctene and 1-octene with hydrogen peroxide. It is used as a solvent for many reactions and to dissolve peptides. It is also employed to produce high-end chemicals like fluorinated surfactants, fluorinated emulsifier and fluorinated medicine. It acts as a cleaner in electronic industry.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
