Trifluoroiodomethane CF3I

Halons can be widely used in industry as alternatives. They are also used as reagents for trifluoromethyl sources.

Trifluoroiodomethane (CF3I) has a very low global warming potential (GWP) and does not contribute to ozone layer depletion, making it commonly used in industry as a refrigerant, in organic reactions, and as a fire extinguishing agent. Under certain conditions, its insulation performance has been shown to exceed that of SF6 gas, and its use in the power sector is being considered, leading to growing expectations for practical applications. The trifluoromethyl group (CF3-) consists of a bond between the strongest fluorine atom and a carbon atom, and in the fields of pharmaceuticals and pesticides, there are many cases where its introduction at specific positions in organic molecules dramatically enhances their physiological activity. This is believed to be due to the mimicry effect and metabolic suppression effects caused by the small size of the trifluoromethyl group. Trifluoroiodomethane is an environmentally friendly substance that facilitates radical trifluoromethylation, making it suitable for the production of intermediates in pharmaceuticals and pesticides, and it is also expected to be applicable in functional materials. Beijing Yujike Technology Development Co., Ltd. is mass-producing high-purity trifluoroiodomethane, and we are selling it in the Japanese market.
