1-Bromo-3,3,3-trifluoroacetone is used in the preparation of 3-nonylthio-1,1,1-trifluoropropan-2-one and perfluoroalkylated trans-allylic alcohols. It is involved in the synthesis of cyclic tetrapeptides. Further, it reacts with potassium enolate of ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoroacetoacetate to produce ethyl 2,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4-hydroxydihydro-3-furoate.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
