Acetic acid, 2-[(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)thio]-

Description:

Acetic acid, 2-[(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)thio]- is a chemical compound characterized by the presence of both acetic acid and a trifluoroethylthio group. Its molecular structure includes a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) and a thioether linkage, which contributes to its unique properties. The trifluoroethyl group imparts significant electronegativity due to the presence of fluorine atoms, influencing the compound's reactivity and solubility. This substance is typically a colorless liquid with a pungent odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents. It may exhibit moderate toxicity and should be handled with care, as with many chemical compounds containing sulfur and fluorine. The compound's applications may include use in organic synthesis, as a reagent, or in the development of specialty chemicals. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this substance, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation.

2-[(2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl)sulfanyl]acetic acid

CAS: 675-68-3

2-[(2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl)sulfanyl]acetic acid (TFAA) is a pharmaceutical excipient that is used as a raw material for the production of cephalosporin. It has antibacterial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. TFAA inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the active site of the enzyme methoxylmethyl esterase, which converts methoxymethyl esters to methyl esters. This leads to an accumulation of intermediates in cephalosporin synthesis and eventually cell death. TFAA has been shown to be effective against infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
