Heptafluorobutyric anhydride (CAS: 423-79-6; Formula: C8F14O3) is a highly reactive perfluorinated acylating agent produced via dehydration of heptafluorobutyric acid. It serves as a critical reagent for introducing perfluoroalkyl groups into organic synthesis.
Strictly store in sealed, corrosion-resistant containers under dry conditions. Requires PPE due to severe corrosivity and moisture sensitivity; hydrolysis releases toxic fumes.
