2-phenylethyl trifluoroacetate

Description:
2-Phenylethyl trifluoroacetate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, derived from the reaction of 2-phenylethanol and trifluoroacetic acid. It features a phenyl group attached to a two-carbon ethyl chain, with a trifluoroacetate moiety providing distinct chemical properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic sweet odor. It is known for its relatively low volatility and moderate solubility in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the phenyl group. The trifluoroacetate group imparts unique reactivity, making it useful in various synthetic applications, particularly in organic synthesis and as a reagent in the preparation of other chemical compounds. Additionally, the presence of trifluoromethyl groups enhances its stability and lipophilicity, which can influence its behavior in biological systems. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
