Pentafluorophenyl Trifluoroacetate is a highly reactive acylating agent used in organic synthesis. Its molecular formula is C9F8O2 with CAS No. 406-71-7. The compound is typically produced via the esterification of pentafluorophenol with trifluoroacetic anhydride.
Store under inert atmosphere at 2-8°C to prevent hydrolysis. Use full PPE including chemical-resistant gloves due to severe corrosive properties. Avoid contact with moisture as it releases toxic trifluoroacetic acid fumes.
