Application

1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoro-2-methyl-2-propanol can be used as a reactant to synthesize:
  • Ethyl zinc fluoroalkoxide complexes by using diethyl zinc.
  • Vanadium-alkylidene complexes in the presence of hexane.
  • 1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoro-2-methyl-2-propylperchlorate using NaH and dichlorine heptoxide in carbon tetrachloride.
It can also be used as a solvent to prepare cyclodextrin-assembled material.

We found that cyclodextrins (CDs) have a high solubility in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP). Evaporating HFIP from CD solutions on a glass plate gave crystalline solids composed of channel-type CD assemblies, and electrospinning with an HFIP solution of CDs fabricated CD microfibers.
