CAS 382-43-4

3-hydroxy-2-trifluoromethylpropionic acid

Description:

3-Hydroxy-2-trifluoromethylpropionic acid, with the CAS number 382-43-4, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a trifluoromethyl group (-CF3) attached to a propionic acid backbone. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its form and purity. It is known for its acidic properties due to the carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH), which can donate protons in solution. The trifluoromethyl group imparts unique electronic and steric properties, enhancing the compound's reactivity and potential applications in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, the presence of fluorine atoms can influence the compound's solubility, volatility, and biological activity. 3-Hydroxy-2-trifluoromethylpropionic acid may be used as an intermediate in organic synthesis or as a building block for more complex molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
