Product Information

• Name: Ethyl 4,4,4-trifluorobutyrate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Ethyl 4,4,4-trifluorobutyrate is a difluoroacetate salt that can be used as an electrolyte in rechargeable batteries. It has a layered structure and is bifunctional, with an alkyl moiety on one end and a carboxylate group on the other. The transition metal ions are required for the reaction to proceed. When heated, ethyl 4,4,4-trifluorobutyrate decomposes into ethanol and hydrogen fluoride gas. This compound also exhibits good solubility in organic solvents such as ethers and esters. The reaction is exothermic and occurs at temperatures below 100 °C when ethyl 4,4,4-trifluorobutyrate is dissolved in nonpolar solvents such as hexane or heptane.
