3-Bromo-1,1,1-trifluoroacetone

Chemical Properties

clear colorless to yellowish liquid

Uses

3-Bromo-1,1,1-trifluoroacetone may be used in the synthesis of:

• 3-nonylthio-1,1,1-trifluoropropan-2-one
• cyclic tetrapeptides containing trifluoromethyl and pentafluoroethyl ketone as zinc binding functional group
• perfluoroalkylated trans-allylic alcohols

Uses

1-Bromo-3,3,3-trifluoroacetone is used in the preparation of 3-nonylthio-1,1,1-trifluoropropan-2-one and perfluoroalkylated trans-allylic alcohols. It is involved in the synthesis of cyclic tetrapeptides. Further, it reacts with potassium enolate of ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoroacetoacetate to produce ethyl 2,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4-hydroxydihydro-3-furoate.

General Description

3-Bromo-1,1,1-trifluoroacetone reacts with potassium enolate of ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoroacetoacetate to yield ethyl 2,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4-hydroxydihydro-3-furoate.
