Chemical Properties
clear colourless to light yellow liquid
Uses
Pentafluorobenzenesulfonyl chloride is used as derivatizing reagent for simultaneous determination of fluoxetine and p-trifluoromethylphenol, an O-dealkylated metabolite of fluoxetine in human liver microsomes. It is also used for electrophore labeling of small tyrosyl peptides for their analysis by gas chromatography with electron-capture detection. It is also employed as derivatizing reagent for amphetamine in determination of amphetamine in human plasma samples using gas chromatography with electron-capture detection.
General Description
Pentafluorobenzenesulfonyl chloride reacts with benzene and thiophene derivatives in the presence of a ruthenium (II) catalyst to form corresponding perfluorophenylated compounds.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Pentafluorobenzenesulfonyl chloride is derivatizing reagent for amphetamine in determination of amphetamine in human plasma samples using gas chromatography with electron-capture detectio.
