Application

1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoro-2-propanol can be used as:
  • A reactant to synthesize hexafluoroisopropyl benzoates by reacting with anthranils and N-alkoxy α-halogenoacetamides.
  • A solvent in the triphosphazene-catalyzed Beckmann rearrangement of ketoximes to lactams.
  • A catalyst to synthesize 2,2-difluoro-3-hydroxy-1,4-diketones via Mukaiyama aldol reaction.

Appropriate mechanical properties and fast endothelialization of synthetic grafts are key to ensure long-term functionality of implants. We used a newly developed biostable polyurethane elastomer (TPCU) to engineer electrospun vascular scaffolds with promising mechanical properties (E-modulus: 4.8 ± 0.6 MPa
