Description

One general application of trifluoroacetaldehyde is the preparation of trifluoroethylamino derivatives via reductive amination reaction. This synthesis includes the formation of the corresponding N,O-acetal intermediates followed by their reduction using NaBH4 or 2-picoline borane complex, affording the target trifluoroethylamino compounds in moderate to good yields. Another general application of trifluoroacetaldehyde is the synthesis of chiral α-substituted trifluoroethylamino compounds.

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.
