| Application: | Methyl perfluorooctanoate may be employed in the following studies: • Synthesis of monodisperse perfluoroalkyl N-polyethoxylated amides, potential nonionic fluorinated surfactants. • To investigate the mutual solubility curves of fluorocarbon-hydrocarbon systems. • Synthesis of fluorine-containing monomer, N-(5-hydroxypent-1-yl)perf • To investigate the vinyl ether formulations for use in step and flash imprint lithography. • Preparation of 2-chloro-1,1-dicyano-2-(p |
| General description: | Methyl perfluorooctanoate (MePFOA) is reported to be formed during storage of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in methanol. Its physical properties like density, boiling point and refractive index have been determined experimentally. |
