Product Description
HFIP Hexafluoroisopropanol
CAS No 920-66-1 - For Solvents, Coatings, Medicine, Pesticides, and Chemical Cleaning Applications
Product Overview
HFIP (Hexafluoroisopropanol) is a powerful fluorinated alcohol solvent with exceptional solvating properties. Its unique molecular structure makes it indispensable in pharmaceutical synthesis, peptide chemistry, and polymer processing, earning it the reputation as a "magic solvent" for facilitating chemical reactions.
Key Characteristics & Applications
  • Strong Polarity & Hydrogen Bond Donor: Effectively dissolves stubborn compounds including peptides and high-performance plastics while stabilizing reaction intermediates through hydrogen bonding
  • Weak Acidity: Enhanced acidity (pKa ≈ 9.3) compared to typical alcohols, aiding in disrupting biomolecule secondary structures
  • Low Boiling Point & High Density: Boils at 58-59°C for easy distillation recovery with density of approximately 1.6 g/mL
  • Pharmaceutical & Peptide Synthesis: High-efficiency dissolving agent that prevents peptide aggregation and serves as critical solvent in Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS)
  • Polymer Science: Superior solvent for high-performance engineering plastics including PEEK and polyimides, used for thin films, fibers, and coatings
  • Analytical Chemistry: Optimal matrix solvent in MALDI-MS analysis for achieving clearer, higher-resolution mass spectra of proteins and peptides
Excellent Solubility: Miscible with water and most common organic solvents

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What are the main safety hazards of HFIP?
HFIP is corrosive and causes severe skin burns and eye damage. It is also harmful if inhaled. Always handle inside a fume hood with appropriate PPE including gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat.
Q2: What common plastics does HFIP dissolve?
HFIP is a strong solvent for many plastics, including PEEK, polyamides (nylon), and polycarbonate. Teflon (PTFE) is completely resistant to it.
Q3: How should I store HFIP?
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep containers tightly closed and away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
