Fluoroacetone (also called monofluoroacetone ) is a fluorinated derivative of acetone with the empirical formula C ₃ H ₅ FO.

presentation

Fluoroacetone can be obtained by reacting triethylamine trihydrofluoride with bromoacetone .

properties

Fluoroacetone is a colorless, clear to pale yellow liquid at room temperature . It has a refractive index of 1.37 at 20 ° C and changes to a gaseous state from 75 ° C. Fluoroacetone is highly flammable, it has a flash point of 7 ° C. Above the flash point, the vapors of fluoroacetone can form an explosive mixture with air.

use

Fluoroacetone is or has not been used as an eye warfare agent , in contrast to other halogenated acetone derivatives such as bromoacetone or chloroacetone . It is a starting material for the production of higher fluoroketones.
