2-Butanone,4-fluoro-3-(fluoromethyl)-3-methyl-

Description:

2-Butanone, 4-fluoro-3-(fluoromethyl)-3-methyl-, also known by its CAS number 74758-90-0, is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group and the presence of multiple fluorine substituents. This compound features a four-carbon backbone with a ketone group at the second carbon, and it is further substituted with fluorine atoms at the fourth carbon and a fluoromethyl group at the third carbon. The presence of these fluorine atoms can significantly influence the compound's physical and chemical properties, such as increasing its polarity and altering its reactivity compared to non-fluorinated analogs. Typically, compounds like this may exhibit unique solubility characteristics and may be of interest in various applications, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, the presence of fluorine can enhance the stability and bioactivity of the molecule. As with many fluorinated compounds, safety and environmental considerations are important, given the potential for persistence and bioaccumulation.
