Fluoroacetone Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear colorless to light yellow liquid

Uses

Fluoroacetone has been used as a catalyst to study the kinetics of the ketone-catalysed decomposition of peroxymonosulfuric acid (Caro′s acid).

General Description

Aldolizations of fluoroacetone with aldehydes mediated by organocatalyst yield products with high enantioselectivities.
