It is used as pharmaceutical intermediate. Reactions of aldehydes with triphenylphosphine and sodium chlorodifluoroacetate yield 1,1-difluoro olefins. It is a general reaction and a one step synthesis.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
