Trifluoroiodomethane, 97+%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

Trifluoroiodomethane is used as a gaseous fire suppression flooding agent for in-flight aircraft and electronic equipment fires. It is also an important raw material and intermediate used in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It is involved in the rhodium-catalyzed alfa-trifluoromethylation of alfa,beta-unsaturatedketones. It plays an important role as catalyst in the enantioselective alfa -trifluoromethylation of aldehydes through photoredox organocatalysis using a readily available iridium photocatalyst.

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.
