Nonafluoro-tert-butyl alcohol (Perfluoro-tert-butanol; PFTB) is a widely used fluorinating building block for synthesis. It contains nine equivalent 19F and a modifiable hydroxyl group. Perfluoro-tert-butyl alcohol is a highly fluorinated compound that finds applications in organic synthesis and various chemical processes. Its strong fluorine content makes it valuable for introducing fluorine atoms into organic molecules, which can alter the physical and chemical properties of the target compounds. This compound is often used as a fluorinating agent in research and industrial settings and is as a valuable building block for high performance 19F MRI agents.
