Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified primarily by fluorocarbon chain
Highly fluorinated side chains might argue for later fluorinated hydrocarbon headings.
If oxidized to trifluoroacetophenone
Ketone functionality would shift to oxygen-function carboxylic acid derivatives.
