Product Information

• Name: Tris(2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl)Orthoformate

Description

Tris(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) orthoformate is a lithium-containing compound that is used as a solvent and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It is also used to prepare organolithium compounds for use in organic synthesis. Tris(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) orthoformate can be used as a reactive diluent or as an electron transfer agent because it allows the transport of electrons from one side of a reaction to the other. The mechanism of this process involves coulombic interactions between the electrons and the lithium cation. This mechanism has been confirmed by computational studies using the functional theory applied to lithium metal and anions.
