Individual trifluoroacetyl nitrate (TFAN) was synthesized by the reaction of N2O5 with trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA) and was characterized by 13C, 14N, 15N, and 19F NMR and Raman spectroscopy. In the gas phase TFAN partially decomposes into N2O5 and TFAA, and in solutions the equilibrium is shifted to TFAN. Mono nitration of [2.2]paracyclophane with TFAN proceeds in good yields.
