Heptafluorobutyric anhydride is a perfluoroacylated acylation reagent, that forms stable, volatile derivatives with alcohols, amines, and phenols. It is majorly used to prepare electron-capturing derivatives for GC/electron capture detection. It is generally used with an acid scavenger, to help drive the reaction to completion and to prevent column damage from acidic by-products of the derivatization reaction. It is also used for the frequent testing of drugs of abuse such as, amphetamines and phencyclidine by GC-MS technique.
Clear borosilicate glass, high hydrolytic resistance (Type I)
Analysis Note
Suitable for derivatization of aldosterone, digoxin, digitoxin and metabolites, estradiol, postaglandins F1α and F2α, 3-oxo-Δ4-steroids, steroids and testosterone.
Other Notes
HFAA acylates amines, amino acids and other compounds. HFBA derivatives are highly volatile: used in GC separation[1][2]

A method for the determination of residues of the insecticide diflubenzuron, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(2,6-difluorobenzoyl)urea, in apples using gas chromatography with electron-capture detection has been developed and validated. The three solvents ethyl acetate, acetone and dichloromethane were tested for extraction of diflubenzuron residues
