Ethyl 5,5,5-trifluoropentanoate

Description:
Ethyl 5,5,5-trifluoropentanoate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is formed from the reaction of pentanoic acid and ethanol. This compound features a pentanoate chain with three fluorine atoms attached to the fifth carbon, imparting unique properties such as increased lipophilicity and altered reactivity. The presence of trifluoromethyl groups can enhance the compound's stability and influence its biological activity, making it of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Ethyl 5,5,5-trifluoropentanoate is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature, with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Safety data indicates that, like many fluorinated compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may pose environmental and health risks. Overall, this compound's unique structure and properties make it a valuable subject of study in synthetic chemistry and material science.
