2-(Trifluoromethoxy)ethanol Usage And Synthesis

Description

2-(Trifluoromethoxy)ethanol is a colorless transparent liquid at room temperature and pressure, and has a certain solubility in water. 2-(Trifluoromethoxy)ethanol is a primary alcohol organic compound, mainly used as an organic synthesis intermediate and a raw material for pharmaceutical production, with the chemical transformation properties of the terminal hydroxyl group of the alkyl chain. This substance can be used to introduce trifluoromethoxy units into the target organic molecular structure. For example, there are literature reports that this substance can be used to synthesize substituted pyridone compounds for the treatment of neuromuscular diseases.
