clear colorless to brown-yellow liquid
4-Bromo-1,1,2-trifluoro-1-butene may be used in the preparation of 1,1,2-trifluoro-1-butene, via reaction with KOH in the presence of phase-transfer catalyst, tetrabutylammonium bromide.
4-Bromo-1,1,2-trifluoro-1-butene is used in organic synthesis, chemical research and pharmaceuticals.
4-Bromo-1,1,2-trifluoro-1-butene is a fluorinated building block. It reacts with potassium hydroxide in the presence of tetrabutylammonium bromide (a phase transfer catalyst) to afford 1,1,2-trifluoro-1,3-butadiene.
