Catalog Overview
1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoropropan-2-yl but-2-enoate, with CAS 135771-94-7 and molecular formula C7H6F6O2, is a fluorinated ester. It combines the electron-withdrawing and steric properties of the hexafluoroisopropyl group with the reactive unsaturation of the but-2-enoate (crotonate) moiety. This structure makes it a versatile functionalized intermediate for introducing fluorinated groups into target molecules or for polymerization reactions in materials science research. Its unique fluorine content can impart properties such as thermal stability, hydrophobicity, and altered electronic characteristics to derived compounds.
