Chemical Properties
CLEAR COLOURLESS TO YELLOW LIQUID
Uses
2′,3′,4′,5′,6′-Pentafluoroacetophenone was used in asymmetric synthesis of chiral alcohols using ketoreductase isolated from cyanobacterium
Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7942. It was also used in the synthesis of benzalpentafluoroacetophenone and 2,3-dihydryl-
F-benzalacetophenone.

General Description
Effect of magnetic field on the photochemical hydrogen abstraction of 2′,3′,4′,5′,6′-pentafluoroacetophenone in a Brij 35 micellar solution has been studied by nanosecond laser flash photolysis technique.
