1,1,1-Trifluoro-2,3-epoxypropane Usage And Synthesis

Uses

1,2-Epoxy-3,3,3-trifluoropropane is used for the synthesis of trifluorolactic acid. It is an important raw material and intermediate used in Organic Synthesis, Pharmaceuticals, Agrochemicals and Dyestuff.

Synthesis

31g of sodium hydroxide (3.28equiv.: 0.781mol)-water 60ml solution under ice-cooling, 50g bromohydrin form obtained in Example 6 (0.238mol) was added and the internal temperature was raised to 61 oC gas generated was collected outside the reactor, condensed in a trap cooled to -78 oC, 1,1,1-trifluoro-2 ,3-epoxypropane was obtained in 84% yield. This was analyzed by 1H-NMR, 19F-NMR. 19F-NMR: (acetone weight):-86.90ppm (3F, d) 1H-NMR: (acetone weight): 2.90ppm (1H, m) 2.96ppm (1H, d d), 3.40ppm (1H, m)
