Trifluoroacetic acid

Product Description

Trifluoroacetic Acid is widely used in organic synthesis as a solvent, catalyst and reagent. Chemical transformations are done with the aid of TFA, including rearrangements, reductions, condensations, hydroarylations, functional group deprotections, oxiÚtions and trifluoromethylations. Corrosive to skin, eyes and mucous membranes, it has important properties for its use in organic synthesis, such as low boiling point, high dielectric constant and strong acidity. Besides, clients can avail this Trifluoroacetic Acid from us in different packaging options.

Features:

• Water soluble
• Longer shelf life
• Easy to process

Trifluoroacetic acid is a very strong halogenated derivative of acetic acid. It is used in acid catalyzed reactions, especially those where an ester is cleaved in peptide synthesis.

Trifluoroacetic acid is a colorless fuming liquid with a pungent odor. Soluble in water and denser than water. Corrosive to skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Used to make other chemicals and as a solvent.
