Description

3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenylacetone is a chiral iminium-type organocatalyst that is used in asymmetric organic reactions. This compound has been shown to be effective for the synthesis of chiral amines and hydroxyl groups, as well as biotransformations. 3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenylacetone binds to substrates through hydrogen bonding, steric interactions, and electrostatic interactions. It also has a high affinity for hydroxides and isosteres. 3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenylacetone can be used as an alternative to L-proline in certain biotransformations because it binds more tightly to the enzyme than L-proline does.
