1,1-Difluoroacetone is a specialized fluorinated ketone intermediate primarily synthesized via the hydrofluorination of acetone or oxidation of 1,1-difluoro-2-propanol. With the molecular formula C3H4F2O and CAS No. 407-58-9, it serves as a critical building block in organic synthesis for introducing difluoromethyl groups.
Store under inert atmosphere at low temperatures to prevent polymerization. Requires strict ventilation and PPE due to potential toxicity and flammability risks during handling.
