CAS 166331-85-7: Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, fluoromethyl ester (9CI)

Fluoromethyl cyclohexanecarboxylate is a compound that contains a fluorine atom and is classified as an organic solvent. It has a boiling point of about 500°C and can be used to create a non-aqueous solution. Fluoromethyl cyclohexanecarboxylate is also an anhydride, which means that it can react with water to form a salt and hydrogen fluoride gas. This reaction may take place in the presence or absence of acid or base, depending on the pH of the solution. The high temperature property of fluoromethyl cyclohexanecarboxylate makes it useful for reactions involving chain or cycle carbon compounds.
