Trifluoroacetic anhydride (CAS# 407-25-0)
Description
Trifluoroacetic anhydride (CAS# 407-25-0) is an acylation reagent and protection reagent. TFAA is reactive towards amines, alcohols and phenol functional groups. As a GC derivatization reagent, TFAA derivatives are often introduced for the sake of improving gas chromatographic resolution and improved detection with ECD detectors.
The reaction between trifluoroacetic acid anhydride (TFAA) and compounds containing amines or alcohol moieties is facile and the reaction is easy to conduct. After the preparation of O-trifluoroacetyl and N-trifluoroacetyl derivatives, gas chromatograms tend to be significantly improved due to decreased analyte polarity and increased sample volatility. TFAA is one of CovaChem's signature products, and is among the highest purity in the industry. Inquire for bulk quantities of this high quality trifluoroacetic anhydride.
