Perfluorodecyl iodide
Perfluorodecyl iodide (CAS: 423-62-1), with the molecular formula CF 3(CF 2)9I and a molecular weight of 645.98 g/mol, is a long-chain perfluorinated alkyl iodide. This chemical serves as a valuable building block in organic synthesis, particularly for introducing fluorinated chains into larger molecules. Its distinct properties make it suitable for specialised applications in materials science and chemical research.

Preparation of Catalysts
Used in the synthesis of organoboron compounds, such as 3,5-bis(perfluorodecyl)phenylboronic acid, which acts as a "green" catalyst for direct amide condensation reactions.
Fluorinated Olefin Synthesis
Serves as a precursor for the synthesis of fluorinated alkenes, like 3-(perfluorodecyl)prop-1-ene, enabling the creation of novel fluorinated materials.
Fluorinated Building Block
As a fluorinated organic building block, it is utilised in complex syntheses requiring the introduction of perfluorinated alkyl chains.
