112trifluoropropane

112trifluoropropane is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C3H5F3. It is a fluorinated propane derivative where three hydrogen atoms have been replaced by fluorine atoms. The specific arrangement of these fluorine atoms, indicated by the locants 1, 1, and 2, means that two fluorine atoms are attached to the first carbon atom, and one fluorine atom is attached to the second carbon atom of the propane chain.

This compound can be synthesized through various fluorination reactions, often involving precursors like propanes or propenes. Its physical and chemical properties are influenced by the presence of fluorine atoms, which are highly electronegative. These properties can include a lower boiling point compared to non-fluorinated propanes, increased chemical stability, and altered solubility characteristics.

112trifluoropropane may find applications in niche areas where its specific properties are advantageous. These could potentially include use as a refrigerant, a solvent, or an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex fluorochemicals. However, its widespread commercial use is not as established as some other fluorinated hydrocarbons. Research into its environmental impact and toxicological profile is also a factor in determining its potential applications and regulatory status. Detailed information regarding its specific industrial uses and associated safety data would require consulting specialized chemical databases and literature.
