CAS 356-42-3: Pentafluoropropionic anhydride

Pentafluoropropionic anhydride is a chemical compound that reacts with fatty acids to form trifluoroacetic acid. In analytical chemistry, it is used to determine the amount of fatty acids in biological samples. Pentafluoropropionic anhydride has been shown to react with human serum and rat striatal tissue to form carbon disulphide and hydrochloric acid. It reacts with amines in the sample preparation phase, forming receptor molecules that can be analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Pentafluoropropanoic anhydride

Pentafluoropropionic anhydride act as a derivatising agent of amines and alcohols. It is used in the in preparation of halogenated derivatives of phenolic acids, required for determination of some biologically important acids in cerebrospinal fluid, as derivatization reagent in detection of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline and 1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline as endogenous amines from non-treated rat brain by GC-multiple ion detection and in simultaneous determination of the major metabolites of dopamine in rat striatum by gas-liquid chromatography.
