Product Information

• Name: 1,1,1-Trichlorotrifluoroethane
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1,1,1-Trichlorotrifluoroethane is a chemical that belongs to the group of trifluoroacetic acid. It has been shown to react with hydrogen fluoride in the presence of uv light to form hydrogen chloride and trifluoroacetic acid. 1,1,1-Trichlorotrifluoroethane can be used as an alternative solvent for nitromethane and hexane. It is also used as a medium for cell culture because it does not react with most biological tissue and it does not cause skin irritation. The reaction mechanism for 1,1,1-trichlorotrifluoroethane is nucleophilic attack by the hydrogen chloride molecule on the carbon atom of the ethyl group. This reaction produces a product that contains chlorine atoms that are capable of spontaneously reacting with another molecule of 1,1,1-trichlorotrifluoroethane to form hydrogen chloride
