Cycloheptanone,2-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetyl)-

Description:

Cycloheptanone, 2-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetyl)- is a chemical compound characterized by its cyclic ketone structure, specifically a seven-membered carbon ring with a ketone functional group. The presence of the trifluoroacetyl group introduces significant electronegativity due to the three fluorine atoms, which can influence the compound's reactivity and polarity. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and may exhibit limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic cycloheptanone core. The trifluoroacetyl moiety can enhance the compound's ability to participate in various chemical reactions, including acylation and nucleophilic attacks. Cycloheptanone derivatives are often utilized in organic synthesis and may serve as intermediates in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as the trifluoroacetyl group can pose health risks, including potential toxicity and environmental concerns.
