Isopropyl fluoride (systematic name 2-fluoropropane) is an organofluorine compound consisting of a propane with a fluorine as substituent on the middle carbon.
This chemical reacts with boron trifluoride to form an ionic complex containing a carbocation[1] that can be used as a catalyst for isomerization and disproportionation of alkanes.[2] Isopropyl fluoride can be synthesized by hydrohalogenation of propene or by substitution of isopropyl alcohol using standard fluorination reagents such as hydrogen fluoride–pyridine.[3] As a refrigerant, it is in the hydrofluorocarbon class, identified as HFC-281ea.[4] It has an atmospheric lifetime of 27 days.[5]
