General description
1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane is used as a trifluorovinylating agent in organic synthesis. It is identified as a potential refrigerant used in place of chlorofluorocarbons. 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane can also be used as a solvent and medical propellant for a wide range of applications. It is used to extract materials of natural origin like natural flavors, fragrances, and nutraceuticals.
Application
1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane can be used:
- As a solvent in the preparation of cross-linked polymer microspheres through the dispersion polymerization method.
- As a porogenic solvent in the preparation of porous polymethacrylate monolith via free radical polymerization.
- In the synthesis of trifluorovinyllithium, a key intermediate for the preparation of 2-halo-2,3-dideoxy-arabinose derivatives of biological importance.
Packaging
Supplied in a Sure/Pac™ cylinder and has a brass needle valve with a male 1/4" NPTF outlet thread installed. Before using the cylinder, ensure that the valve is closed, then remove the galvanized steel hex cap that seals the outlet valve.

In response to recent regulations and concern over climate change, the global automotive community is evaluating alternatives to the current refrigerant used in automobile air conditioning units, 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, HFC-134a. One potential alternative is 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFC-1234yf, also known as HFO-1234yf). We
