Butanoyl chloride, 4,4,4-trifluoro-

Description:

Butanoyl chloride, 4,4,4-trifluoro- is an acyl chloride characterized by the presence of a butanoyl group with three fluorine atoms attached to the carbon adjacent to the carbonyl. This compound is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor, typical of acyl chlorides, and is known for its reactivity due to the presence of the acyl chloride functional group. It is highly reactive with water, leading to the formation of butanoic acid and hydrochloric acid upon hydrolysis. The trifluoromethyl group enhances its electrophilicity, making it a useful reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the formation of esters and amides. Additionally, the presence of fluorine atoms can impart unique properties, such as increased lipophilicity and altered boiling points compared to its non-fluorinated counterparts. Safety precautions are essential when handling this compound, as it can cause severe irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from moisture is also crucial to prevent unwanted reactions.
