1-Propanone,2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-(4-methylphenyl)-

Description:

1-Propanone, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-(4-methylphenyl)-, also known by its CAS number 76435-42-2, is a fluorinated organic compound characterized by the presence of a propanone functional group and multiple fluorine atoms attached to the carbon backbone. This compound features a phenyl ring substituted with a methyl group, contributing to its aromatic properties. The presence of fluorine atoms enhances its chemical stability and alters its physical properties, such as increasing its lipophilicity and potentially affecting its reactivity. Typically, fluorinated compounds exhibit unique characteristics, including lower surface tension and higher thermal stability compared to their non-fluorinated counterparts. This compound may be utilized in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis or in the development of specialty chemicals. However, due to the presence of fluorine, it may also raise environmental and health concerns, necessitating careful handling and assessment of its safety profile.
