Chemical Properties

Description
Fluoroacetamide is an odourless, tasteless, white, crystalline water soluble. It is a fluorinated amide and reacts with azo and diazo compounds to generate toxic gases. Flammable gases are formed by the reaction of organic amides/imides with strong reducing agents. Fluoroacetamide is used as a rodenticide and insecticide to control rabbits but is dangerous for other species of pests, farm livestock, and humans. Fluoroacetamide is a noncombustible substance itself and does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce irritating, corrosive, and/or toxic fumes. On decomposition, fluoroacetamide releases nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, irritating and toxic fumes and gases, carbon dioxide, HF gas, and nitrogen gas.
Appearance Fluoroacetamide is a colorless, crystalline solid.
