Fluoroacetamide is an odorless, tasteless, white, crystalline water-soluble fluorinated amide. It is a colorless crystalline solid that reacts with azo and diazo compounds to generate toxic gases. Flammable gases are formed by the reaction of organic amides/imides with strong reducing agents. It is used as a rodenticide and insecticide, but it is highly toxic and dangerous for other species of pests, farm livestock, and humans. Fluoroacetamide is a noncombustible substance itself and does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce irritating, corrosive, and/or toxic fumes. On decomposition, it releases nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, irritating and toxic fumes and gases, carbon dioxide, HF gas, and nitrogen gas.

640-19-7 Usage

Uses

Used in Pest Control Industry:
Fluoroacetamide is used as a rodenticide for controlling rodents, particularly rabbits, and as an insecticide to combat scale insects, aphids, and mites on fruits. It is effective in pest control due to its highly toxic nature, but it poses a risk to other species of pests, farm livestock, and humans.
Used in Chemical Research:
Fluoroacetamide can be used in chemical research as a starting material for the synthesis of various fluorinated compounds. Its unique properties, such as its reactivity with azo and diazo compounds, make it a valuable compound for studying the effects of fluorination on chemical reactions and properties.

Production Methods

Fluoroacetamide is produced by reaction of α-chloroacetamide with potassium fluoride in tetrachloroethylene at elevated temperature.

Air & Water Reactions

Very soluble in water [Farm Chemicals]

Reactivity Profile

FLUOROACETAMIDE is a fluorinated amide. Organic amides/imides react with azo and diazo compounds to generate toxic gases. Flammable gases are formed by the reaction of organic amides/imides with strong reducing agents. Amides are very weak bases (weaker than water). Imides are less basic yet and in fact react with strong bases to form salts. That is, they can react as acids. Mixing amides with dehydrating agents such as P2O5 or SOCl2 generates the corresponding nitrile. The combustion of these compounds generates mixed oxides of nitrogen (NOx).

Hazard

Extremely toxic; poison; mutagen.

Health Hazard

FLUOROACETAMIDE is super toxic; probable oral lethal dose in humans is less than 5 mg/kg, or a taste (less than 7 drops) for a 150-lb. person. Chemically inhibits oxygen metabolism by cells with critical damage occurring to the heart, brain, and lungs resulting in heart failure, respiratory arrest, convulsions, and death.

Fire Hazard

Emits very toxic fumes of fluorine containing compounds and nitrogen oxides when heated to decomposition. Avoid decomposing heat.

Safety Profile

A human poison by an unspecified route. Poison experimentally by ingestion, skin contact, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, and intravenous routes. Human systemic effects by unspecified route: convulsions, coma, nausea and vomiting. Experimental reproductive effects. Mutation data reported. Used as an insecticide and rodenticide. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of Fand NOx. See also FLUORIDES.

Potential Exposure

This material is an organofluorine rodenticide; insecticide proposed mainly for use on fruits to combat scale insects, aphids, and mites. Use is largely restricted to licensed pest control operators.

Check Digit Verification of cas no

The CAS Registry Mumber 640-19-7 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 6,4 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 1 and 9 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 640-19:
(5*6)+(4*4)+(3*0)+(2*1)+(1*9)=57
57 % 10 = 7
So 640-19-7 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Synthesis of 5-Fluorocytosine Using 2-Cyano-2-fluoroethenolate as a Key Intermediate

Dietz, Jule-Philipp,Derstine, Brenden P.,Ferenc, Dorota,Crawford, Evan T.,Arduengo, Anthony J.,Gupton, B. Frank,McQuade, D. Tyler,Opatz, Till

supporting information, p. 5519 - 5526 (2019/07/17)

There is an urgent demand for 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC) due to its activity against HIV-induced fungal infections as well as its use as a key intermediate in the synthesis of the clinically highly important anti-HIV drug emtricitabine (FTC). We report a simple, low-cost five steps synthesis of 5-FC starting from chloroacetamide. Overall yields up to 46 % were achieved and the route is devoid of any chromatographic purifications. The previously unknown key intermediate (Z)-2-cyano-2-fluoroethenolate is obtained through a Claisen-type condensation from fluoroacetonitrile. As the direct cyclization with urea only gave poor yields, 5-fluoro-2-methoxypyrimidin-4-amine, 5-fluoro-2-(methylsulfanyl)pyrimidin-4-amine and 5-fluoropyrimidine-2,4-diamine served as synthetic intermediates.

Method for preparing fluoroacetamide for quantitative and qualitative determination of forensic science

-

Paragraph 0021-0028, (2017/09/13)

The invention discloses a method for preparing fluoroacetamide for quantitative and qualitative determination of the forensic science. The method comprises the following steps: (1) dissolving fluoracyl chloride in an organic solvent, and then adding the obtained solution into a reaction kettle; (2) pumping ammonia into the reaction kettle, and performing stirring for reaction; (3) performing filtering, flushing the filter cake with an organic solvent, and merging organic phases; and (4) washing the organic phases with a saturated salt solution, performing drying, performing reduced pressure distillation to remove the organic solvent and to obtain a white solid, and performing forced air drying to obtain fluoroacetamide. The method is high in productivity, the prepared fluoroacetamide is high in purity and can directly serve as a standard substance or a reference material for use, and the demand for toxicological analysis of the forensic science in the reality is met.

The method comprises: a reaction, in the presence of water, of the organic compound (I) and at least one salt providing at least one fluoride anion; and a replacement of at least one nucleofugal group Nu of the compound (I) with a fluorine atom, in order to obtain the fluorinated organic compound (II).

Reactions of Cyclic Peroxides with Aldehydes and Ketones catalysed by Trimethylsilyl Trifluoromethanesulphonate. An Efficient Synthesis of 1,2,4-Trioxanes

Jefford, Charles W.,Boukouvalas, John,Kohmoto, Shigeo

, p. 523 - 524 (2007/10/02)

Trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulphonate is found to be an efficient catalyst for the reaction of 1,4-endoperoxides and 1,2-dioxetanes with aldehydes and ketones to give 1,2,4-trioxanes in high yields.

The photochemical addition of N-haloamides to olefins: the influence of various factors on the competition between 1,2-addition and hydrogen abstraction

Lessard, Jean,Mondon, Martine,Touchard, Daniel

, p. 431 - 450 (2007/10/02)

In the photodecomposition of N-haloamides (ZCONRX) in the presence of olefins, the 1,2-addition chain competes with the hydrogen abstraction chain(s) leading to the parent amide (the quantum yields for these processes are greater than unity).The following factors were shown to have an influence on this competition as measured by the yield of 1,2-addition and the yield of parent amide in methylene chloride solutions: (i) the N-halogen (higher yields of addition with X=Cl than with X=Br); (ii) the electronegativity of Z (increase of the yield of addition as the electronegativity of Z increases); (iii) the temperature (higher yields of addition at lower temperatures, and at -70 degC, better yields of addition (>90percent, R=H) for X=Br than for X=Cl); and (iv) the size of R (dramatic decrease of the yield of 1,2-addition in going from R=H to R=CH3).Surprisingly, the presence of a scavenger for HX had no influence on the yield of 1,2-addition.Both the size and electronegativity of Z had an effect on the stereochemistry of 1,2-addition to cyclohexene.High yields of addition to a variety of olefins were obtained with N-chloroamides such as ClCH2CONHCl, C2H5OCONHCl, CF3CONHCl.Their addition to enol ethers at -70 degC led to the synthesis of α-amido acetals or ketals (aldehydes or ketones) and to an α-amido glycoside in good yields.
