Product Information

• Name: 4,4,4-Trifluoro-2-hydroxybutanoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4,4,4-Trifluoro-2-hydroxybutanoic acid is an alcohol that is used in the synthesis of benzaldehydes. This compound can be extracted from a variety of sources, including natural sources such as plants and animals. 4,4,4-Trifluoro-2-hydroxybutanoic acid has been shown to react with butyllithium to form a mixture of 2:1:1 (R:S:R) diastereomers. The reaction is carried out under conditions that favor the formation of the desired product. This process produces high yields and allows for chiral products to be synthesized in high optical purity.
