| Specification: |
The IUPAC name of Heptafluorobutyric acid is 2,2,3,3,4,4,4-heptafluorobutanoic acid . With the CAS registry number 375-22-4, it is also named as Heptafluoro-1-butanoic acid ; Heptafluorobutanoic acid ; Heptafluorobutyric acid ; Kyselina heptafluormaselna ; Perfluorobutanoic acid ; Perfluoropropanecarboxylic acid ; Butanoic acid, 2,2,3,3,4,4,4-heptafluoro- ; Butanoic acid, heptafluoro- . The Heptafluorobutyric acid is clear colorless to faintly yellow liquid. As the fluorinated derivative of butyric acid, this product is obtained by electrofluorination of the corresponding butyryl fluoride. It is highly toxic. It will produce corrosive fumes when react with water or steam. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of F−. So the storage environment should be ventilate, low-temperature and dry. Keep Heptafluorobutyric acid separate from food, oxidant and watery element . The Heptafluorobutyric acid is used in the sequencing, synthesis, and solubilizing of proteins and peptides. It also has a variety of niche applications in analytical and synthetic chemistry. It is an ion pair reagent for reverse-phase HPLC. Owing to their electrophilicity, esters derived from Heptafluorobutyric acid readily undergo condensation. Specialized ligands for metal ions are generated capitalizing on this property, such as Eufod. It can easily cause burns. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. If you want to contact this product, you should wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection. In case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show the label whenever possible.) So Heptafluorobutyric acid shoulded be stored in a cool, dry place. Keep container closed when not in use. Water free area.Wash hands before eating. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use only in a well ventilated area. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not ingest or inhale. Discard contaminated shoes. The following is the toxicity data which has been tested.
