2,2,2-Trifluoroethanol (CAS 75-89-8) is a fluorinated alcohol widely used as a polar solvent and reaction intermediate. Its molecular formula is C₂H₃F₃O. Produced via hydrofluorination of ethylene oxide or direct fluorination of ethanol, it serves as a critical reagent in pharmaceutical synthesis.
Store in tightly sealed containers away from oxidizers at cool temperatures. Use appropriate PPE due to flammability and potential skin irritation. Avoid inhalation of vapors during industrial handling.
