Trifluoromethyl hypofluorite is an organofluorine compound with the chemical formula CF3OF. Its chemical structure resembles methanol, but every hydrogen atom is replaced by a fluorine atom. Trifluoromethyl hypofluorite is a toxic gas at room temperature, exploding when condensed; but in small quantities the compound is useful for certain fluorination reactions in organic chemistry.
