Product Description
2-(Trifluoromethyl)oxirane, also known as 3,3,3-Trifluoro-1,2-epoxypropane, is a chemical compound with a unique structure and diverse applications. It is a colorless, volatile liquid belonging to the family of epoxides. This compound contains a three-membered ring with an oxygen atom and a trifluoromethyl group (-CF3). The compound's high reactivity, attributed to the strained three-membered ring structure, makes it valuable in organic synthesis and chemical transformations.
2-(Trifluoromethyl)oxirane serves as a versatile building block in organic synthesis. It finds applications in medicinal chemistry and the agrochemical industry. The ability of the trifluoromethyl group to modulate the properties of molecules, such as lipophilicity and metabolic stability, makes it valuable in designing pharmaceuticals and pesticides.
