2-Butanol, 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-methyl-

Description:
2-Butanol, 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-methyl- is a fluorinated alcohol characterized by the presence of a butanol backbone with a trifluoromethyl group and a methyl group attached to the second carbon. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is known for its moderate volatility and distinct odor. Its molecular structure contributes to its unique physical and chemical properties, including a relatively high boiling point compared to non-fluorinated alcohols due to the strong electronegative influence of the fluorine atoms. The trifluoromethyl group enhances the compound's hydrophobic characteristics, making it less soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents. Additionally, 2-butanol derivatives often exhibit interesting reactivity patterns, including potential applications in organic synthesis and as intermediates in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety considerations are important when handling this compound, as fluorinated compounds can pose environmental and health risks. Proper storage and handling protocols should be followed to mitigate any hazards associated with its use.
