Trifle, or Punschtorte, is a British dessert of sponge cake and fruit. Its earliest known recipe appeared in 1596, and it is traditionally served in a glass bowl.

Trifloxystrobin

Trifloxystrobin (Flint) is a strobilurin (QoI, FRAC 11) agricultural fungicide discovered by Novartis, announced 1998, sold to Bayer in 2000; it blocks mitochondrial complex III respiration and is EU-approved since 2003.

Trifloxysulfuron

Triflumizole

Triflumizole is an imidazole fungicide, sold as Procure and Terraguard, that controls powdery mildew and scab on fruit, vegetable, and ornamental crops by blocking ergosterol biosynthesis.

Triflumuron

Triflumuron (SIR 8514, Alsystin, Zapp) is a Bayer-discovered benzoylurea insecticide, IRAC group 15 chitin synthesis inhibitor acting on CHS1, used on crops and sheep lice; EU-banned since 2023.

Trifluoperazine

Trifluoperazine is a typical antipsychotic of the piperazine phenothiazine class, first launched as Stelazine by Smith Kline & French in 1958, used mainly for schizophrenia and psychoses and at low doses for anxiety and nausea.

Trifluoroacetamide

Trifluoroacetamide (2,2,2-trifluoroacetamide, CF₃CONH₂) is the amide of trifluoroacetic acid, a white crystalline solid used as a pharmaceutical intermediate, a protecting-group precursor, and a perovskite solar cell additive.

Trifluoroacetate

Trifluoroacetate is the conjugate base of trifluoroacetic acid, an extremely persistent PFAS with no known degradation pathway, formed largely from HCFC, HFC, and HFO refrigerant breakdown.

Trifluoroacetic acid

Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA, CF3COOH) is a strongly acidic fluorinated carboxylic acid used as a reagent in organic synthesis and peptide manufacture, increasingly scrutinized as a persistent, rising environmental contaminant.

Trifluoroacetic anhydride
