Methyl 4,4,4-trifluorobutyrate

Description:
Methyl 4,4,4-trifluorobutyrate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, derived from trifluorobutyric acid and methanol. It features a butyrate backbone with three fluorine atoms attached to the fourth carbon, which significantly influences its chemical properties. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a distinctive odor and is known for its volatility and low viscosity. Methyl 4,4,4-trifluorobutyrate is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic characteristics. The presence of fluorine atoms enhances its stability and can impart unique reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications, particularly in the fields of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, it may serve as a reagent in organic synthesis or as an intermediate in the production of other fluorinated compounds. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
