Fluoral

Chemical compound

Trifluoroacetaldehyde, trifluoroethanal, or fluoral, is a fluorinated derivative of acetaldehyde with the formula CF3CHO. It is a gas at room temperature. Fluoral is used to introduce trifluoromethyl groups into organic compounds. It is highly electrophilic and fluoral forms a hydrate CF3CH(OH)2 upon contact with water like other halogenated acetaldehydes. It is commonly used in form of ethyl hemiacetal due to the aldehyde's high reactivity, including the tendency to polymerise.
