Urea hydrofluoride

Hydrogen Fluoride Urea Complex

CAS 24926-15-6

Chemical Formula CH5FN2O

Molecular Weight 98.07 g/mol

Urea hydrofluoride is a stable complex formed when urea reacts with hydrogen fluoride. It's considered a safer alternative to anhydrous HF in fluorination reactions due to reduced volatility and controlled fluoride release. The compound is a crystalline solid, with the urea and HF molecules linked by hydrogen bonds.

Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals

  • Fluorination Reagent: Urea hydrofluoride is a useful reagent in the pharmaceutical industry because it provides a convenient way to introduce fluorine into organic molecules, which can significantly alter their properties. 

2. Metal Treatment

  • Removing Water-Insoluble Metal Salts: Urea hydrofluoride can effectively dissolve metal salts that are not readily soluble in water, such as certain metal oxides or sulfates. This property makes it useful in cleaning metal surfaces that have become contaminated with these salts, which can hinder further processing or lead to corrosion.

3. Performance Chemicals

  • Safer HF Source: Urea hydrofluoride provides a more manageable way to deliver HF for reactions, reducing the risks associated with handling anhydrous HF.
  • Fluorinated Polymers: Urea hydrofluoride is used in the synthesis of polymers like PTFE (Teflon), where fluorine atoms are introduced into the polymer chain.
  • Organic Fluorine Compounds: Urea hydrofluoride is a building block for synthesizing a wide array of organic fluorine compounds, which are used in various applications.
