Description
2-Fluoroethyl acetate (CAS No. 462-26-0) is a high-purity fluorinated ester with the molecular formula C4H7FO2. This specialized chemical is widely utilized in organic synthesis, pharmaceutical research, and material science due to its unique reactivity as a fluoroalkylating agent. Our product is rigorously tested to ensure ≥98% purity (GC) and is supplied in sealed, light-resistant containers under inert gas to maintain stability. The compound’s clear, colorless liquid form (density ~1.09 g/mL at 25°C) exhibits a characteristic ester-like odor and should be stored at 2-8°C in a well-ventilated area. Technical specifications include: boiling point 115-117°C, flash point 26°C (closed cup), and refractive index n20D 1.378-1.382. Available in research quantities (100mL to 10L) with optional certificates of analysis upon request.
