Description of key information

Additional information

Trifluoroacetyl chloride (TFAC) is a gas under standard conditions (boiling point -27°C at 101325 Pa, NIST, 2010; vapour pressure 546.622 kPa at 25°C, US EPA, 2009). TFAC is extremely unstable in water, where it is rapidly hydroysed to trifluoroacetic acid and hydrogen chloride. For this reason, experimental determination of water solubility and octanol-water partition coefficient are not feasible. TFAC has no structural alert indicating flammable, explosive or oxidising properties.
