Ethyl trifluoroacetate

UsesWidely used in the synthetic process of medicine, pesticides and organic intermediate.

UsesEthyl trifluoroacetate is used as an intermediate in organic synthesis to prepare organic fluorine compounds like 3-ethyl-1-methylimidazolium trifluoroacetate (EMITA). It is involved in the syntheses of various pharmaceutically active molecules and agricultural products. It is also useful for the preparation of tri fluoroacylated compounds.

UsesEthyl Trifluoroacetate is an intermediate used in the synthesis of various pharmaceutically active molecules and agricultural products. Ethyl Trifluoroacetate is also useful for the preparation of tri fluoroacylated compounds.

PreparationTrifluoroacetic acid and ethanol were used as starting materials with strong-acid cation exchange resin as catalysts at 40 ~ 50 she℃. Add ethanol drop and temperature rising reflux divides the mixture of water and ethanol. After that, collect the mix of thick product ethanol and Ethyl trifluoroacetate. The crude product collected is added a small amount of water, and layering can obtain a content of more than 99.5%. The qualified product Ethyl trifluoroacetate, whose moisture is less than 0.1%, yields more than 95%.
