Product Description
Trifluoroacetic anhydride, also known as 1,1,1,5,5,5-Hexafluoro-3-oxapentan-2,4-dione, Perfluoro(3-oxapentan-2,4-dione), and 2,2,2-Trifluoroethanoic anhydride, is an acid used for the introduction of trifluoroacetyl group in organic synthesis. It is involved in the preparation of N- and O-trifluoroacetyl derivatives of a wide range of compounds for gas chromatography analysis.
Trifluoroacetic anhydride is also used:
- in the preparation of N- and O-trifluoroacetyl derivatives of a wide range of compounds for gas chromatography analysis
- as a desiccant for trifluoroacetic acid
- in the oxidation of aldehydes to acids, esters, amides
- in the protection of alcohols and amines
- as analytical reagents, solvents and dehydration condensing agent
- as an intermediate of fluorine fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals
