General description

2-Trifluoromethyl-2-propanol is a fluorinated aliphatic alcohol. It can be prepared by reacting methyllithium, trifluoroacetone and trifluorovinyl bromide in ether. This can also be synthesized from the reaction between methylmagnesium bromide and 1,1,1-trifluoroacetone in ether.

Application

2-Trifluoromethyl-2-propanol may be employed as a solvent for the preparation of [18F]fluorothymidine. It may also be used in the synthesis of [2-(trifluoromethyl)-2-propyl nitrate] through nitration in nitric acid/trifluoroacetic anhydride.
