Sodium trifluoromethanesulfinate (CAS 2597-83-7) is a versatile reagent used primarily for trifluoromethylation reactions. Synthesized via oxidation of sulfur dioxide with trifluoromethyl halides or electrolytic methods, its molecular formula is CF3SO2Na.
Store in a cool, dry place under inert atmosphere to prevent hydrolysis. Avoid contact with strong acids which release toxic SO2 and HF gases. Use appropriate PPE including gloves and eye protection during handling.
