Trifluoromethane Organic Compounds

The silver fluorocomplexes, ie, silver hexafluoroantimonate [26042-64-8], AgSbF silver hexafluorophosphate [26042-63-7], AgPF silver tetrafluoroborate [14104-20-2], AgBF and other salts such as silver trifluoromethane sulfonate [2923-28-6], CF SO Ag, and silver trifluoroacetate [2966-50-9], CF COOAg, play an important role in the synthesis of organic compounds and have gained potential industrial importance. 

Derivation A polyether such as polypropylene glycol is treated with a drisocyanate in the presence of some water and a catalyst (amines, tin soaps, organic tin compounds). As the polymer forms, the water reacts with the isocyanate groups to cause cross-linking and also produces carbon dioxide, which causes foaming. In other cases, trifluoromethane or similar volatile material may be used as a blowing agent.
