General description

Ethyl fluoroacetate is an ester organic solvent.

Application

Ethyl fluoroacetate was used in the synthesis of 4-deoxy-4-fluoro-muscarines. It was used as starting reagent for the synthesis of ethyl(diethoxyphosphoryl)fluoroacetate. It was used in development of an ammonolysis-based microencapsulation process.
