The Uses of Trifluoroacetophenone

2,2,2-Trifluoroacetophenone is a fluorinated acetophenone with inhibitory activity of acetylcholinesterase. 2,2,2-Trifluoroacetophenone was shown to have neuroprotective activity by inhibiting apoptosis in cerebellar granule neurons.

The Uses of Trifluoroacetophenone

General Description

2,2,2-Trifluoroacetophenone is the starting material for the synthesis of f 3-trifluoromethyl-3-phenyldiazirine. It undergoes asymmetric reduction with optically active Grignard reagent to form 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-phenylethanol. It undergoes condensation with biphenyl, terphenyl, a mixture of biphenyl with terphenyl, phenyl ether and diphenoxybenzophenone to form new aromatic 3F polymers.
