Trifluoroethanol and hexafluoroisopropanol are used as solvents in research. [4] Fluorotelomer alcohols are precursors to perfluorocarboxylic acids. Pirkle's alcohol is used a chiral shift reagent in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
Pentafluorophenol is the organofluorine compound (specifically a fluoroalcohol) with the formula C 6 F 5 OH. This is the perfluorinated analogue of phenol . It is a white solid that melts just above room temperature, and smells of phenol.
18-Crown-6 can be synthesized by the Williamson ether synthesis using potassium ion as the template cation. Structure of nickel-aquo nitrate complex of the ligand derived from the templated trimerization of 2-aminobenzaldehyde. [5] The phosphorus analogue of an aza crown can be prepared by a template reaction. [6]
[7] Fluorotelomer alcohols can biodegrade to perfluorinated carboxylic acids, which persist in the environment and are found in the blood serum of populations and wildlife, such as the toxic PFOA and PFNA. [8] [9] Aerobic biotransformation pathways of 8:2 FTOH in soil [10] The fluorotelomer alcohols 6:2 FTOH and 8:2 FTOH have been found to be ...
It is also relatively acidic, with a pKa of 9.3, comparable to that for phenol. [1] It is classified as a hard Lewis acid and its acceptor properties are discussed in the ECW model. [3] [4] Hexafluoro-propan-2-ol is a speciality solvent for organic synthesis, particularly for
2-Fluoroethanol was originally synthesized by treating 2-chloroethanol with potassium fluoride, in a simple Finkelstein reaction. [5] The product has a lower boiling point that the starting material and may be conveniently isolated by distillation.
[2] [3] It is highly electrophilic and fluoral forms a hydrate CF 3 CH(OH) 2 upon contact with water like other halogenated acetaldehydes. [4] It is commonly used in form of ethyl hemiacetal (1-ethoxy-2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, CF 3 CH(OCH 2 CH 3 )(OH) ) due to the aldehyde's high reactivity, including the tendency to polymerise.
Nonafluoro-tert-butyl alcohol (IUPAC name: 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)propan-2-ol) is a fluoroalcohol. It is the perfluorinated analog of tert -butyl alcohol . Notably, as a consequence of its electron withdrawing fluorine substituents, it is very acidic for an alcohol, with a p K a value of 5.4, similar to that of a carboxylic acid.
