Butanoic acid, 2,2,3,3,4,4-hexafluoro-

Description:

Butanoic acid, 2,2,3,3,4,4-hexafluoro- is a fluorinated carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of six fluorine atoms attached to the butanoic acid backbone. This compound is notable for its high electronegativity due to the fluorine substituents, which significantly influence its chemical properties, including increased acidity compared to non-fluorinated analogs. The presence of multiple fluorine atoms enhances its lipophilicity and alters its solubility in various solvents, making it useful in specialized applications such as in the synthesis of fluorinated compounds and as a potential intermediate in organic chemistry. Additionally, the compound exhibits unique thermal and chemical stability, which can be advantageous in certain industrial processes. Its CAS number, 679-12-9, allows for easy identification and reference in chemical databases. However, due to the presence of fluorine, handling precautions are necessary, as fluorinated compounds can pose environmental and health risks. Overall, this compound exemplifies the diverse properties and applications of fluorinated organic molecules in modern chemistry.
