TCI C0991 Sodium Chlorodifluoroacetate (CAS 1895-39-2) is a solid fluorinated building block widely used as an in-situ difluorocarbene source. On heating it enables gem-difluorocyclopropanation of alkenes and difluoromethylation of nucleophiles such as phenols, thiols and amines. AMI Scientific offers this TCI product in 25 g, 100 g and 500 g pack sizes to suit exploratory through repeated synthetic work. Keep the container tightly closed, ensure adequate venting during heated reactions, and follow the manufacturer's label and safety data sheet.
