Introduction | Trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA) is a strong dehydrating agent with a wide range of chemical reactivity. It is used as a solvent in the synthesis of a variety of polymers and fine chemicals, Catalyst, dehydration condensing agent and retention agent, widely used in dyes, photosensitive materials, liquid crystal display materials, aerospace technology, pesticides, medicine, polymer materials, etc, it can improve the speed of polymerization reaction and the yield of products, and be used as derivative chemical reagent in gas chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography to detect toxic metabolites and bacterins in livestock meat, fruits and vegetables, which has a very good development and application prospect. |
Reagents commonly used in laboratories | Trifluoroacetic anhydride is a reagent commonly used in chemical laboratories. Because there are two strong electron-withdrawing groups trifluoromethyl in its structure, it is a relatively strong organic anhydride, and its chemical properties are also relatively active. Therefore, trifluoroacetic anhydride has great use in organic synthesis. For example, trifluoroacetic anhydride can react with carboxylic acid to form the corresponding mixed anhydride (that is, activated ester), which enhances the electrophilicity of carboxylic acid carbonyl group, and is less likely to be attacked by nucleophiles. Since trifluoroacetic anhydride has water absorption, it can be used as a dehydration reagent for some reactions. A mixture of trifluoroacetic anhydride and sodium iodide can be used as a reducing reagent. A mixture of trifluoroacetic anhydride and dimethyl sulfoxide can be used as an oxidant. In addition, trifluoroacetic anhydride has some other uses in organic synthetic chemistry. |
Related chemical reaction | Reacts with carboxylic acid Trifluoroacetic anhydride can react with carboxylic acid to generate activated anhydride, which greatly improves the electrophilic performance of carboxylic acid. For example, the activated anhydride produced by the reaction of trifluoroacetic acid and benzoic acid undergo Friedel-Crafts acylation with methoxybenzene, with a yield of up to 98% (Formula 1). Dehydration reaction In the presence of a weak base, trifluoroacetic anhydride can be used as a dehydrating agent to dehydrate amides, oximes, hydroxy ketones or hydroxy esters to generate corresponding nitriles and unsaturated ketones or carboxylic acid esters; o-diols and o-hydroxy acid derivatives can also be oxidized to o-diketones. Commonly used weak bases include triethylamine, pyridine, 2, 6-dimethylpyridine (formula 2), etc. |
precautions | this reagent is corrosive and sensitive to moisture. it will undergo violent hydrolysis reaction when exposed to water to generate trifluoroacetic acid. Before use, it should be treated to remove the trifluoroacetic acid generated by partial hydrolysis. Use should be operated in the fume hood to prevent poisoning caused by inhalation. |
use | trifluoroacetic anhydride is an intermediate of chlorfenapyril. Used as a protective agent for acetylation of analytical reagents, solvents, catalysts, dehydration condensers and hydroxyl and amino trifluoroacetylation Used as a pesticide intermediate used in organic synthesis Esterification reaction can also be used as solvent, analytical reagent, catalyst and dehydration condensing agent.
