Trifluoroacetic acid, HPLC Grade, 99.5+%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals
Description
The combination of properties like solubility in most of the solvents, volatility, catalytic property and strong acidity with non-oxidizing nature makes it a widely used reagent in an organic synthesis. Trifluoroacetic acid is an important building block in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and ceramic compounds. It is a precursor to many fluorinated compounds, and widely used in peptide synthesis and other organic transformations involving deprotection of t-BOC group. It finds use as an ion pairing agent in liquid chromatography, as a solvent in NMR spectroscopy and as a calibrant in mass spectrometry.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
