Applications
Pentafluorobenzaldehyde was used as derivatization reagent in a study to develop a sensitive method for the determination of primary amines in sewage sludge by headspace solid-phase micro extraction and gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. It was used in the synthesis of novel, high molecular weight fluorinated aromatic polymers.

Solubility
Sparingly Soluble in water (0.027 g/L at 25°C).
