Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a structural analogue of acetic acid with all three of the acetyl group's hydrogen atoms substituted by fluorine atoms. It is a colorless liquid with a vinegar-like odor, prepared industrially by the electrofluorination of acetyl chloride or acetic anhydride, followed by hydrolysis of the resulting trifluoroacetyl fluoride. It occurs naturally in small concentrations in sea water (≤200 ng/L). TFA is broadly used in organic chemistry for various purposes. It is popularly used as a strong acid to remove t-butyl derived side-chain protecting groups in Fmoc peptide synthesis and t-butoxycarbonyl protecting group. It is a versatile solvent for NMR spectroscopy and is used as a calibrant in mass spectrometry. Trifluoroacetic acid is widely used as a solvent and catalyst for polymerization and condensation reactions and raw material to manufacture high-performance coatings.
Market Dynamics
The global trifluoroacetic acid market is forecasted to grow at a healthy rate during the forecast period. World demand for Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is projected to grow with rising demand from the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and chemical industries. Trifluoroacetic acid is an essential building block in the synthesis of pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and performance products. TFA is the precursor to many other fluorinated compounds such as trifluoroacetic anhydride, trifluoroperacetic acid, and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol. Trifluoroacetic acid is recognized as a high-performance solvent, catalyst, and reagent due to the combination of convenient properties: volatility, solubility in organic solvents, and its strength as an acid. Moreover, TFA is also less oxidizing than sulfuric acid but more readily available in anhydrous form than many other acids. All of these contribute to the flourishing demand for TFA. However, unstable supply and demand and complications due to the azeotropic nature of water hinder the market growth.
