2,2,2-trifluoroethyl N-(2-methylpropyl)carbamate

2,2,2-trifluoroethyl N-(2-methylpropyl)carbamate, identified by CAS 1423034-70-1, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C7H12F3NO2 and a molecular weight of 199.17 g/mol. It belongs to the class of functionalized intermediates, specifically a carbamate featuring a 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl ester and an N-(2-methylpropyl) group. This structure suggests its potential utility in various synthetic routes, particularly where the introduction of a trifluoromethylated moiety or a carbamate functionality is desired. Such compounds are often explored in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or specialty materials due to the unique properties conferred by fluorine atoms, such as increased lipophilicity, metabolic stability, and altered pKa values.

• Handle 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl N-(2-methylpropyl)carbamate with appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, eye protection, and a lab coat. Use in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood to avoid inhalation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Store in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible materials. Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed safety information before use.
