Description

1-Phenyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (1PPTE) is an organic solvent that is synthesized by the reaction of hydrogen fluoride with an olefin. 1PPTE has been shown to be a powerful ligand for chiral molecules and can also be used as a chemical transformation agent in the synthesis of organic compounds. The monomer can be transformed into a variety of products using different methods of hydrogenation, such as reductive amination or catalytic hydrogenation. 1PPTE is also used in molecular modeling studies to demonstrate how trifluoromethyl group interacts with other atoms in the molecule. In addition, it has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis through its ability to inhibit reductase gene expression and interfere with inflammatory signaling pathways.
