General description

1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) is an efficient hydrogen-bond donor and highly polar solvent for a reactions with Si-capped Π donors. HFIP is a solvent and its ability to induce self-assembly of an aromatic dipeptide was evaluated. HFIP-induced coacervation in aqueous mixed systems of catanionic surfactants of dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was investigated.

Application

1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoro-2-propanol (Hexafluoroisopropanol) was used as:
  • a crucial additive to improve the enantioselectivity of Friedel-Crafts alkylation of pyrrole with isatins
  • esterification reagent for the determination of aromatic acids in tissue by GLC and electron capture detection
  • additive which accelerates the Pictet-Spengler synthesis of tetrahydroisoquinolines in water catalyzed by a Bronsted acid-surfactant combined catalyst (BASC)

In neurodegenerative diseases, debris of dead neurons are thought to trigger glia-mediated neuroinflammation, thus increasing neuronal death. Here we show that the expression of neurotoxic proteins associated with these diseases in microglia alone is sufficient to directly trigger death of
