3-Heptyn-2-one, 1,1,1-trifluoro-

Description:

3-Heptyn-2-one, 1,1,1-trifluoro- is a fluorinated organic compound characterized by its alkyne functional group and a ketone functional group. The presence of the trifluoromethyl group (–CF3) significantly influences its chemical properties, enhancing its reactivity and polarity compared to non-fluorinated analogs. This compound typically exhibits a clear to pale yellow liquid state at room temperature, with a distinct odor. Its molecular structure includes a seven-carbon chain with a triple bond between the third and fourth carbons, and a carbonyl group (C=O) located at the second carbon. The trifluoromethyl group contributes to its stability and makes it useful in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the development of pharmaceuticals. Additionally, the presence of fluorine atoms can impart unique characteristics such as increased lipophilicity and altered solubility in organic solvents. Safety data indicates that, like many fluorinated compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns.
