1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoro-2-propanol Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

Hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) is a viscous and colorless liquid with scary odorless. It is an ideal solvent for dissolving polyamides and esters, and it can be used to analyze nylon. Typically, a small amount of sodium trifluoroacetate can be added to the eluent to reduce the aggregation of the sample. HFIP has a certain viscosity, but its boiling point is very low, so we need to analyst under the conditions of 40 ° C to reduce the back pressure of the column. Hexafluoroisopropanol is also a highly polar solvent that results in a non-linearity of the calibration curve obtained from the mixed column bed column. Therefore, Agilent has developed a special column-PL HFIPgel column for this solvent, which has a porous structure that is not affected by solvents.

Clinical application

Hexafluoroisopropanol(1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoro-2-propanol) can be used to prepare a variety of high-end chemicals such as fluorosurfactants, fluorine-containing emulsifiers, fluorine-containing pharmaceuticals, and used as a solvent or cleaning agent for electronics industry.
The drug can be used as a fluorinated solvent to increase the efficiency of the reaction of rhodium (I)-catalyzed [4 + 2] intramolecular addition reaction of ether bound alkynyl diene and the [5 + 2] cycloaddition of alkynyl vinyl cyclopropane. The drug is a liquid peptide chemical solvent, a highly soluble solvent for peptide and peptide intermediates. The drug can be used for the analysis of multiple polymers.

First aid

Eyes: Check the victim for contact lenses andremove. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal salinesolution for 20- 30 min, occasionally lifting lower andupper eyelids. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.Get medical attention immediately. Do not put any oint-ments，oils， or medication in the victim's eyes withoutspecific instructions from a physician. Immediately trans-port the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even ifno symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.Skin: Immediately flood affected skin with water andwash for at least 15 min. Remove and isolate all contami-nated clothing. Gently wash all affected skin areas thor-oughly with soap and water. If symptoms such as rednessor irritation develop， immediately calla physician.Transportthevictim toa hospital fortreatment.Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing,give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, giveoxygen. Get medical attention immediately. Ingestion: Donot induce vomiting. If the victim is conscious and notconvulsing，give largeamountof water to dilute thechemical. Never give anything by mouth to an uncon-scious person. If symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing,shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, orchest) develop, call a physician. In all cases get medicalattention immediately. If the victim is convulsing orunconscious, do not give anything by mouth, ensure that .the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/herside with the head lower than the body.

Purification Methods

Distil it from 3A molecular sieves, retaining the middle fraction. It has been prepared by reduction of hexafluoroacetone in tetrahydrofuran (THF), In this case hexafluoropropanol forms a stable 1:1 complex which distils at 99-100o/760mm (n 25 1.3283), The complex is decomposed by mixing with 20% oleum and distilling in a vacuum, and the distillate is redistilled to give pure hexafluoropropan-2-ol with b 59o/760mm. The 1H NMR shows a doublet at 4.52ppm (JH,H 2Hz). The benzoyl derivative, [10315-85-2] M 272.1, has m 53.9o after crystalllisation from pentane at -50o, and its IR has at 1760cm-1. [Middleton & Lindsey J Am Chem Soc 86 4948 1964, Urry et al. J Org Chem 32 347 1967.] It has very high peptide solubilising properties, alone or with CH2Cl2 [use as a solvent: Narita et al. Bull Chem Soc Jpn 61 281 1988, Biochemistry 29 2639 1990.] It is CORROSIVE, causes severe eye irritation.
