Scientific Research Applications

• Drug Discovery Applications: The trifluoromethylthio group (CF3S-) enhances cell membrane permeability and chemical and metabolic stability in drug molecules, which is relevant for drug discovery (Shao, Xu, Lu, & Shen, 2015).
• Chemical Synthesis: Perfluoro-(3-methylbuta-1,2-diene) is utilized in synthesis and allylic rearrangement, and shows resistance to anhydrous hydrogen halides (Banks, Braithwaite, Haszeldine, & Taylor, 1969).
• Battery Technology: Direct fluorination technology is applied to produce additives for lithium-ion secondary batteries and trifluoromethanesulfonyl fluoride, an intermediate in lithium battery electrolyte (Kobayashi, Inoguchi, Iida, Tanioka, Kumase, & Fukai, 2003).
• Organic Chemistry: Carbanion 3 can be alkylated to produce hydrofluorocarbons in high yields, and its reaction with 1,3-diiodopropane leads to alkene and alkane formation (Dmowski & Woźniacki, 1985).
• Biodegradation Studies: Microbial biodegradation of 1H,1H,2H,8H,8H-perfluorododecanol results in shorter fluorinated acids, less toxic and accumulating than PFOA (Arakaki, Ishii, Tokuhisa, Murata, Sato, Sonoi, Tatsu, & Matsunaga, 2010).
• Electrochemistry: 1-Iodooctane undergoes catalytic reduction by nickel(I) salen, revealing insights into the mechanism of this reaction (Raess, Mubarak, Ischay, Foley, Jennermann, Raghavachari, & Peters, 2007).
• Material Science: Research on fluorinated compounds containing iodine or bromine atoms has shown that they decompose easier in fire fighting, generating hydrogen fluoride and nitrogen oxides (Yamamoto, Yasuhara, Shiraishi, Kaya, & Abe, 1997).
