Description:Pentafluorophenol is a chemical compound with the formula C6H5F5O. It is a colorless liquid that reacts with oxygen in air to form pentafluorophenoxy acid, CF2CO2H. Pentafluorophenol has been shown to be effective against infectious diseases such as hepatitis and whooping cough, as well as the bacteria that causes tuberculosis and meningitis. The mechanism of action of pentafluorophenol is not yet known, but it has been hypothesized that it may have an effect on the bacterial enzyme heme dioxygenase. Pentafluorophenol also forms stable complexes with metal hydroxides and inorganic acids, which may be responsible for its effectiveness against some bacteria.Pentafluorophenol reacts with hydrogen fluoride to generate bicyclic heterocycles, trifluoroacetic acid and water vapor.
