Application
4,4,4-Trifluorobut-2-en-1-ol is a versatile trifluorinated allylic alcohol building block serving as a key pharmaceutical intermediate and agrochemical reagent. It is widely used as a lead compound to develop potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitors for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease research. In drug discovery, this compound functions as a building block for introducing fluorinated alcohol groups into drug candidates, leveraging the trifluoromethyl group to improve metabolic stability, target binding, and lipophilicity. As a strategic agrochemical intermediate, it is highly valuable for producing fluorinated herbicides, where the trifluoromethyl group enhances water solubility and field stability of active ingredients. This product also participates in cross-coupling reactions, including metal-free isomerization to β-trifluoromethyl ketones.
