Description
2,2,3,3-Tetrafluoro-3-(trifluoromethoxy)propanoic acid is a highly fluorinated carboxylic acid for advanced chemical and biochemical laboratory applications. It is listed under CAS number 377-73-1, has the empirical formula C₄HF₇O₃, and a molar mass of 230,04 g/mol. Measured physical properties include a density of 1,718 g/cm³ and a boiling point of 126 °C, which help guide handling, dosing, and process design. suits small-scale fluorination chemistry, specialty intermediate synthesis, and exploratory work with polyfluorinated acid building blocks. UN number 3265 is associated with the material in the manufacturer data, supporting correct classification in laboratory logistics. Offered from manufacturer Carl ROTH within the biochemicals range, this acid provides a compact quantity of a defined C₄ fluorinated propanoic acid derivative. Researchers can apply it in method development and synthetic sequences that require the trifluoromethoxy-tetrafluoropropanoate motif together with the documented density, boiling point, and molecular parameters.

Questions about 2,2,3,3-Tetrafluoro-3-(trifluoromethoxy), propanoic acid, 500 mg
What is this article?
2,2,3,3-Tetrafluoro-3-(trifluoromethoxy), propanoic acid, 500 mg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Photometers & spectrophotometers, inside Spectroscopy & photometry, in Lab instruments.
A photometer reads absorbance at one or a few wavelengths. A spectrophotometer scans or selects many. Both send light through a cuvette or a well. The wavelength range, UV or visible, and the bandwidth decide what can be measured. A visible-only instrument cannot read a nucleic acid at 260 nm.
A photometer or spectrophotometer sends light through a sample and reads how much was absorbed. In the range where the Beer–Lambert relation holds, absorbance tracks concentration. A refractometer reads how a liquid bends light, which tracks dissolved solids. A polarimeter reads the rotation of polarised light, the classical measurement for sugars. The lamp, the wavelength and the cuvette path length are the three things that have to be right before the number means anything. The optical quantities trace to NIST and the BIPM.
