Tetrakis(trifluoropropyl)tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane

(Redirected from D4F)

Tetrakis(trifluoropropyl)tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4F) is a chemical substance. It is a derivative of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4), but also belongs to the class of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs).

Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa).

It occurs in four diastereomeric forms:[2]

D4F is formed as a reaction by-product in the synthesis of polymethyltrifluoropropylsiloxane (PMTFPS). The starting material is dichloromethyl(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)silane and tris(trifluoropropyl)trimethylcyclotrisiloxane (D3F) is an intermediate.[3]

It has been detected in wastewater,[4] sewage sludge[5] as well as in biosolid-amended soils.[6]
