General description

The molecular structure of 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl trifluoroacetate has been determined in the gas-phase from electron-diffraction data supplemented by ab initio (MP2) and DFT calculations. Hydrogenation of 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl trifluoroacetate catalyzed by anionic tris-phosphine ruthenium hydride complex has been reported.

Application

2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl trifluoroacetate has been used in the preparation of dimethyl (3,3,3-trifluoro-2,2-dihydroxypropyl)phosphonate.
