The Uses of Difluoroacetic acid

Used in the preparation of 2-difluoromethylbenzimidazoles, -oxazoles and -thiazoles from ortho-substituted anilines mediated by triphenylphoshine.

Definition

ChEBI: A monocarboxylic acid that is acetic acid in which two of the methyl hydrogens are substituted by fluorines.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable
