Thats where reagent shop could be a really good idea, I heard many time it is legit, but got no review. Apparently the service is shit but the product
is good, as the shipping time. However, they seams to ship stuff legally, writing what it is on the box.
I never asked for this.

If you can find someone with a business, Oakwood Products in SC sells TFA for about $30 / 500 g, that is where my work buys it often. They are a
good source of reasonable priced chemicals, and they do deal with some other small businesses. TFA is used for many processes, so it is not an
uncommon chemical, but is very corrosive, especially to people, so take care.
And TFA anhydride reacts violently with water, so simply adding it slowly (dropwise might be good) to water would generate TFA, but the anhydride is
usually more expensive, so that would be a costly way to make it. You might be able to find sodium trifluoroacetate easier (certainly simpler to
ship) and convert it to the acid, but I don't know if it is as easy as it sounds to do. TFA does boil at a pretty low temperature, so easy to
distill.
