General description
2,2,2-Trifluoroethanol (TFE) is an organic compound with the chemical formula CF3CH2OH. TFE is a commonly used solvent in organic synthesis. It can also be used as a cosolvent in the experimental study of proteins and peptides.
Application
2,2,2-Trifluoroethanol can be used as a solvent:
- In the synthesis of 2-amino-3-cyano-4H-chromene and tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyran derivatives by catalyst free one-pot condensation of aldehydes, malononitrile and resorcinol or dimedone.
- In the N-formylation of amines with formic acid in the presence of heterogeneous ZIF-8 (zeolitic imidazolate framework) catalyst.
- In the preparation of 2-substituted-2,3-dihydro-4(1H)-quinazolinone derivatives by condensation of anthranilamide with alkyl, aryl, or heteroaryl ketones or aldehydes.
- In the mild and selective oxidation of sulfur compounds using H2O2(hydrogen peroxide).
Features and Benefits
2,2,2-Trifluoroethanol is more acidic than ethanol due to the presence of electronegative trifluoromethyl group.

Tissue-engineered human blood vessels may enable in vitro disease modeling and drug screening to accelerate advances in vascular medicine. Existing methods for tissue-engineered blood vessel (TEBV) fabrication create homogenous tubes not conducive to modeling the focal pathologies characteristic of certain

Enteroviruses support cell-to-cell viral transmission prior to their canonical lytic spread of virus. Poliovirus (PV), a prototype for human pathogenic positive-sense RNA enteroviruses, and picornaviruses in general, transport multiple virions en bloc via infectious extracellular vesicles, 100~1000 nm in diameter, secreted

Influenza A virus (IAV) mutates rapidly, resulting in antigenic drift and poor year-to-year vaccine effectiveness. One challenge in designing effective vaccines is that genetic mutations frequently cause amino acid variations in IAV envelope protein hemagglutinin (HA) that create new N-glycosylation
