Butanoic acid, 4,4,4-trifluoro-3-hydroxy-

Description:
Butanoic acid, 4,4,4-trifluoro-3-hydroxy- (CAS 86884-21-1) is a fluorinated carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a butanoic acid backbone with a hydroxyl group and three fluorine atoms attached to the carbon chain. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with both carboxylic acids and alcohols, including acidity due to the carboxyl group and potential hydrogen bonding from the hydroxyl group. The trifluoromethyl substituents significantly influence its chemical behavior, enhancing its polarity and potentially increasing its reactivity in various chemical reactions. The presence of fluorine atoms can also impart unique physical properties, such as increased boiling and melting points compared to non-fluorinated analogs. This compound may find applications in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, or as an intermediate in the production of other fluorinated compounds. However, specific handling precautions should be observed due to the potential toxicity and environmental impact of fluorinated substances.
