Trifluoroacetic anhydride

Product Description

Trifluoroacetic Anhydride is used for the introduction of trifluoroacetyl group in organic synthesis. It is used in the preparation of N- and O-trifluoroacetyl derivatives of a wide range of biologically active compounds for gas chromatography analysis. Also, it is used as desiccant for trifluoroacetic acid. Widely demanded in chemical industry, it is used in the oxidation of aldehydes to acids, esters, amides as well as in the protection of alcohols and amines. In addition, this chemical Trifluoroacetic Anhydride is used as analytical reagents, solvents and dehydration condensing agent.
