The term "hexafluoroacetone" can refer to the ] (1.5 ], which is a ] of ] {{chem|(|F|3|C|)|2|C|(|OH|)|2}}, a ]. Hydrated HFA behaves differently from the anhydrous material.
==Synthesis and reactions==

(CF<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>CO is prepared in a two step process from perfluoropropene. In the first step KF catalyzes the reaction of the alkene with elemental sulfur to give the 1,3-dithete <sub>2</sub>. This species is then oxidized by iodate to give (CF<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>CO.<ref>{{OrgSynth | author = Van Der Puy, M. ; Anello, L.

==Uses== ==Uses==
Hexafluoroacetone is mostly employed in ], but it is also the main chemical intermediate used in the production of ], as well as ]s and ]s for textile coating. Hexafluoroacetone can be employed as a solvent for acetal resins, ]s, ], ], and ] or as a ] adhesive. Hexafluoroacetone is used in the production of ]:
:(CF<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>CO + H<sub>2</sub> → (CF<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>CHOH

It is also used as a precursor to ],<ref name=Ullmanns/> a monomer used in polymer chemistry, and as a ] in the synthesis of ], ], ], and ].

Hexafluoroacetone violently reacts in the presence of alkali.

]s attack occurs at the ] carbon of Hexafluoroacetone, as illustrated above. Thus, HFA readily forms lactones when treated with hydroxy- and amine-substituted carboxylic acids. In such reactions, HFA serves both as electrophile and dehydrating agent:<ref name=ChemRev/>
