Perfluoropropionic acid Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Perfluoropropionic acid (PFPrA[2]) or pentafluoropropionic acid is the perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acid with the formula CF3CF2CO2H. It is a clear colourless to slightly brown liquid that is strongly acidic and soluble in water and polar organic solvents.

Uses

Pentafluoropropionic acid is used as an efficient catalyst for the preparation of dibenzo[a, j] xanthenes by condensation reaction of beta-naphthol with aryl aldehydes.

Uses

Pentafluoropropionic acid (Perfluoropropionic acid) was used in the analysis of gentamicin with Gemini column by liquid chromatographic (LC) methods.

General Description

The kinetics of the reaction of pentafluoropropionic acid with fluorine atoms was studied.

Safety Profile

Poison by intraperitoneal route. Moderately toxic by ingestion.When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Fí.
