CAS 853-39-4: Decafluorobenzophenone

Perfluorobenzophenone was used in the synthesis of fluorinated acridones and acridines. Fluorinated polyetherketones prepared from decafluorobenzophenone. Laser pulse excitation of decafluorobenzophenone (DFB) in acetonitrile yields the triplet 3DFB. 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. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Decafluorobenzophenone aids in making fluorinated acridones/acridines and produces radical anion/ketyl under photolysis.

Decafluorobenzophenone

Decafluorobenzophenone is a proton-activated nucleophile that can react with activated carbonyl groups such as ketones, esters, and amides. The molecule has been shown to undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions with hydroxyl groups and trifluoroacetic acid. Decafluorobenzophenone is a cross-linking agent due to its ability to form covalent bonds between two reactive molecules in a chemical system. It also exhibits low light fluorescence properties. Decafluorobenzophenone is used in flow systems and as an electron-deficient compound for the synthesis of polymers, dyes, and pharmaceuticals.
