Product Description
Delivery of this item to mainland UK is ￡40, additional charge will be added at order confirmation stage by our sales team.
Trifluoroacetic acid or TFA (Cas number: 76-05-1) is available to buy from Apollo Scientific.
It is a corrosive organofluorine compound widely used to cleave N-BOC & t-butyl ester groups in peptide synthesis and as a reagent in organic synthesis because of its properties: volatility, organic solvent solubility, and acidic strength.
It can be a solvent for NMR spectroscopy and can act as a calibrant in mass spectrometry.
Trifluoroacetic Acid is used more commonly than sulfuric acid in synthesis because it is less oxidizing.
As one of the UK’s leading chemical distributors, we have a global reach. With over 25,000 compounds as potential precursors in stock, and with more than 3,000 diverse compounds created in our UK labs, you can trust Apollo to deliver the solution you need.
We have stock locations in both the UK and USA, so please get in touch if you would like to learn more about how to buy Trifluoroacetic acid.
