1-Butanol, 2-ethyl-4,4,4-trifluoro-

Description:

1-Butanol, 2-ethyl-4,4,4-trifluoro- is a fluorinated alcohol characterized by the presence of a butanol backbone with an ethyl group and three fluorine atoms attached to the fourth carbon. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with both alcohols and fluorinated compounds, such as moderate polarity and potential for hydrogen bonding due to the hydroxyl (-OH) group. The trifluoromethyl group significantly influences its chemical behavior, often enhancing its hydrophobic characteristics while also imparting unique reactivity. It may exhibit lower volatility compared to non-fluorinated alcohols and can have distinct solubility profiles in various solvents. The presence of fluorine atoms can also affect the compound's stability and reactivity, making it of interest in various applications, including as a solvent or intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety considerations are important, as fluorinated compounds can have specific environmental and health impacts. Overall, 1-butanol, 2-ethyl-4,4,4-trifluoro- represents a unique class of compounds with diverse potential applications in chemistry and industry.
