3-Buten-2-ol,1,1,1-trifluoro-4-phenyl-

Description:

3-Buten-2-ol, 1,1,1-trifluoro-4-phenyl- is an organic compound characterized by its unique structure, which includes a butenol backbone with a trifluoromethyl group and a phenyl substituent. This compound is likely to exhibit properties typical of both alcohols and alkenes, such as the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding due to the hydroxyl (-OH) group, while also displaying reactivity associated with the double bond. The presence of trifluoromethyl groups can enhance the compound's lipophilicity and influence its reactivity, making it potentially useful in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and additions. Additionally, the phenyl group may contribute to the compound's stability and affect its electronic properties. As with many fluorinated compounds, it may exhibit unique physical properties, such as altered boiling and melting points compared to its non-fluorinated analogs. Safety and handling considerations are essential due to the potential toxicity and environmental impact of fluorinated compounds.
