Trifluoroacetic acid Usage

Used as experimental reagents, solvents, catalysts, and in organic synthesis

As a fine intermediate, it is mainly used for the synthesis of fluorine-containing medicines, pesticides, and dyes, and can also be used as raw materials for glass coating processes. It is a catalyst for esterification reactions and condensation reactions; a protective agent for hydroxyl and amino groups, used in the synthesis of sugars and polypeptides.
