CAS 53749-89-6: bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) sulfite

Description: Bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) sulfite is a chemical compound characterized by its unique structure, which includes two trifluoroethyl groups attached to a sulfite functional group. This compound is notable for its high fluorine content, which imparts distinct physical and chemical properties, such as low surface tension and high thermal stability. It is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and exhibits a relatively low boiling point compared to other sulfite esters. The presence of trifluoroethyl groups enhances its solubility in organic solvents while making it less polar. Bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) sulfite is used in various applications, including as a reagent in organic synthesis and in the production of fluorinated compounds. Additionally, due to its fluorinated nature, it may exhibit low reactivity with many nucleophiles, making it a useful intermediate in chemical reactions. However, safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
