2,2-Difluoroethanol: A Fluorinated Building Block (CAS 359-13-7)
Why 2,2-Difluoroethanol Is a Useful Building Block 2,2-Difluoroethanol (CAS 359-13-7, CHF2CH2OH) packs two useful features into a very small molecule: a difluoromethyl group and a primary alcohol. That makes it one of the most practical two-carbon sources of CHF2 functionality for synthetic chemists. For the base properties of the compound, see the 2,2-difluoroethanol technical overview.
