3,3,3-Trifluoropropanal

Description:
3,3,3-Trifluoropropanal is an organic compound characterized by the presence of three fluorine atoms attached to the propanal structure, which is a three-carbon aldehyde. Its molecular formula is C3H3F3O, and it features a carbonyl group (C=O) at one end, typical of aldehydes. The trifluoromethyl group significantly influences its chemical properties, making it highly polar and reactive. This compound is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a distinctive odor. Due to the electronegative fluorine atoms, 3,3,3-Trifluoropropanal exhibits increased acidity compared to its non-fluorinated counterparts, which can affect its reactivity in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic additions. It is used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this compound, as it can be harmful if inhaled or ingested, and it may cause skin and eye irritation.
