Fluoroacetone is an organofluorine compound with the chemical formula C3H5FO.[1][2] Under normal conditions, the substance is a colorless liquid. Fluoroacetone is also a highly toxic and flammable compound.[3] Fumes of fluoroacetone can form an explosive mixture with air.

Synthesis

Fluoroacetone can be obtained by a reaction of triethylamine tris-hydrofluoride with bromoacetone.

Applications

Fluoroacetone is used as a catalyst to study the kinetics of the ketone-catalysed decomposition of peroxymonosulfuric acid (Caro's acid).[4] It is also a precursor material for the production of higher fluoroketones.

Fluoroacetone has not been used as a lachrymatory substance in contrast to other halogenated acetone derivatives, such as bromoacetone or chloroacetone.
