What is Heptafluorobutyric Acid CAS 375-22-4?
Heptafluorobutyric acid (CAS 375-22-4) is a highly corrosive fluorine-containing organic acid. Its core characteristics include:
Strong acid catalysis: pKa 0.17, suitable for esterification and polymer synthesis;
Key reagents for biochemical analysis: Protein sequencing and antibiotic detection are irreplaceable.
High-risk operations: Strict protection to avoid contact, and environmental emissions must comply with regulations.
Cost differentiation: High-purity reagents for scientific research are expensive (> ¥50/g), while industrial-grade reagents can be customized in bulk.
Heptafluorobutyric Acid CAS 375-22-4 Use
Biochemistry and Medicine
Protein sequencing: Ion-pair reagents, enhanced HPLC/MS separation of basic samples.
Antibiotic detection: Derivatization reagents for aminoglycoside antibiotics.
Pharmaceutical intermediates: Synthesis of new drugs (such as antiviral agents) and fragrances.
Industry and Materials
Organic synthesis: Esterification reaction catalysts, polymer material additives (such as fluorocarbon resins).
Electronics industry: etching agents, cleaning agents and special lubricants.
Surfactant: Raw material of fluorine-containing surfactant, used for coating and polymer modification
Heptafluorobutyric Acid CAS 375-22-4 safety
Health risk
Corrosiveness: Contact with skin or eyes can cause severe burns (R34/R35). Protective clothing, gloves and goggles should be worn.
Toxicity: The LD₅₀ in the abdominal cavity of mice was 153 mg/kg, which was highly toxic. Long-term exposure can cause respiratory tract irritation or dermatitis.
Carcinogenicity: Not classified as a carcinogen, but inhalation of the vapor should be avoided (forced ventilation during operation).
Environmental risk
Highly toxic to aquatic organisms (R50). Discharge into water bodies is prohibited
