Cyanuric fluoride or 2,4,6-trifluoro-1,3,5-triazine is a chemical compound with the formula (CNF)3. It is a colourless, pungent liquid. It has been used as a precursor for fibre-reactive dyes, as a specific reagent for tyrosine residues in enzymes, and as a fluorinating agent.[1]
Preparation and reactions
Cyanuric fluoride is prepared by fluorinating cyanuric chloride. The fluorinating agent may be SbF3Cl2[2], KSO2F[3], or NaF[4][5].
Cyanuric fluoride is used for the mild and direct conversion of carboxylic acids to acyl fluorides:[6]
Other fluorinating methods are less direct and may be incompatible with some functional groups.[7]
Cyanuric fluoride hydrolyses easily to cyanuric acid and it reacts more readily with nucleophiles than cyanuric chloride.[3] Pyrolysis of cyanuric fluoride at 1300 °C is a way to prepare cyanogen fluoride:[8]
- (CNF)3 → 3 CNF.
