Controlled Product

CAS: 354-04-1

1,2-Dibromo-1,1,2-trifluoroethane (DBTF) is a catalyst that is used to transfer ethane to hydrogen fluoride. It is activated by hydrogen fluoride and reacts with ethane in the presence of a liquid phase. It can also be used for hydrogenation reactions. 1,2-Dibromo-1,1,2-trifluoroethane has been shown to be an effective catalyst for the transfer reaction between ethane and hydrogen fluoride. The rate of this reaction is dependent on the population of DBTF and the amount of n-dimethyl formamide (DMF). This catalyst does not require high energy input or zinc powder for activation.
