Fluorinated Anhydrides: HFBA

 
HFBA is an Acylation Reagent for GC Derivatization that is most commonly used for ECD and reacts with alcholos, amines, and phenols. Bases such as triethylamine and trimethylamine can be added to promote reactivity to HFBA. HFBA is frequently used for the confirmation of drugs of abuse. HFBA derivatives are most sensitive to ECD.
