(S)-(-)-3,3,3-TRIFLUORO-2-HYDROXYPROPANOIC ACID Usage And Synthesis

Uses

(S)-Trifluorolactic Acid can be used as a chiral derivatizing agent for alcohols.

Uses

(S)-(-)-Trifluorolactic acid can be used as a chiral derivatizing agent to determine the enantiomeric purity of chiral secondary alcohols.
It can also be utilized as a reactant to synthesize:

• (S,S) Double-headed bis(trifluorolactate)s with polymethylene chains by esterification reaction with α,ω-alkanediols.
• Chiral 1,1,1-trifluoromethyl-2-alkanols.
