General description

The kinetics of the reaction of pentafluoropropionic acid with fluorine atoms was studied.

Application

Pentafluoropropionic acid (Perfluoropropionic acid) was used in the analysis of gentamicin with Gemini column by liquid chromatographic (LC) methods.
Pentafluoropropionic acid can be used to prepare 2-pentafluoropropylquinazolin-4(3H)-ones, perfluoroalkyl thioethers and perfluoroalkyl-containing 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes.
