Description

Heptafluorobutyric anhydride (HFBA) is a chemical compound that can be used as a reagent in analytical methods. It is used to prepare derivatives of amines, such as ethyl heptafluorobutyric acid, which are used in plant physiology studies. HFBA has been found to be useful for the detection of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and amines in wastewater samples by plasma mass spectrometry. The derivative of the molecule, 3-heptafluoropropionic acid, can be used as an antimicrobial agent against bacteria and fungi. The hydroxyl group on the molecule allows it to penetrate fatty acids and water molecules with high permeability. HFBA is also used as a reagent for preparing monoclonal antibodies by conjugating it with bovine serum albumin.
