Chemical Properties
Highly reactive fluorinated acylating reagent, widely used to introduce difluoroacetyl groups onto amines, alcohols and thiols.
Reacts vigorously with water to decompose into difluoroacetic acid, releases heat.
Reacts with alcohols to form difluoroacetates; reacts with amines to yield difluoroacetamides.
Incompatible with strong bases, strong oxidants and protic solvents.
Unstable under prolonged exposure to moisture; requires anhydrous operating conditions.
Main Applications
Organic synthesis‑acylation reagent
Serves as a highly reactive difluoroacetylating agent, introducing difluoroacetyl groups onto amines, alcohols, thiols to produce difluoroacetamides, difluoroacetates and thioesters; key building‑block for fluorinated fine chemicals.
Pharmaceutical intermediates
Applied for synthesis of fluor‑containing drug candidates including antiviral, anti‑tumor and enzyme‑inhibitor compounds. Difluoroacetyl moiety improves lipophilicity, metabolic stability and bioavailability of drug molecules.
Agrochemical intermediates
Raw material for manufacturing fluorinated herbicides, fungicides and insecticides; modifies molecular properties to enhance pesticide efficacy and chemical stability.
Analytical chemistry‑derivatization reagent
Derivatizing agent for GC‑MS analysis. Derivatizes polar substances such as amines, amino‑acids and alcohols; increases volatility and thermal stability to boost detection sensitivity for electron‑capture detector (ECD).
Material & new‑energy field
Used to synthesize fluoropolymers, functional fluorinated coatings and liquid‑crystal materials; occasionally researched as additive/solvent for lithium‑ion battery electrolyte formulations.
Laboratory research
Widely used in academic labs for difluoromethylation reactions, photoredox fluorination research and preparation of fluorinated peroxide intermediatesWiley Onli....
Safety Precautions
Hazard Statements
Highly corrosive liquid; causes severe skin burns and serious eye damage. Irritating and corrosive to respiratory tract; vapors may cause coughing, choking and pulmonary injury if inhaled. Flammable liquid, low flash point; may form flammable vapor‑air mixtures. Reacts violently with water, releasing heat and corrosive difluoroacetic acid fumes. Moisture‑sensitive; generates corrosive fumes in humid air.
Personal Protection
Wear chemical‑resistant goggles, full‑face shield, chemical‑resistant gloves and acid‑proof protective clothing. Use in well‑ventilated fume hood; avoid breathing vapors or mists. No eating, drinking or smoking while handling this substance.
First‑Aid Measures
Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air; seek immediate medical assistance if breathing difficulty occurs. Skin contact: Immediately rinse skin with large amounts of running water for at least 15 minutes; remove contaminated clothing and get medical help. Eye contact: Flush eyes continuously with plenty of water for minimum 15 minutes; urgent medical treatment is required. Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting; rinse mouth and call for medical support right away.
