1,1,1,2,2-Pentafluoro-3-iodopropane (CF₃CF₂CH₂I) is a fluorinated alkyl iodide used primarily as a synthetic intermediate in organic chemistry. It serves as a building block for the preparation of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fluorinated materials, leveraging the reactivity of the iodine atom for nucleophilic substitutions, cross-coupling reactions, and other transformations to introduce fluorinated alkyl chains. Due to its chemical stability and specificity, it is valuable in research and development for fine chemical synthesis, particularly in applications requiring high-purity reagents.
