Application

Trifluoroethylene (TrFE) can be used as a monomer unit for the preparation of fluoropolymer (poly(trifluoroethylene)), which finds application in microelectronics, protective/anti-adhesive coatings, chemical industry and Li-ion batteries. TrFE is also used to synthesize copolymer composites with vinylidene difluoride for various applications.
It can also be used to prepare:
  • Pentafluoroethane by reacting with xenon difluoride.
  • Lithium (trifluorovinyl)trimethoxy borate by treating with trimethyl borate and n-BuLi.
  • 2,2,3-Trifluorooxirane.

Beta-Catenin plays an essential role in the Wingless/Wnt signaling cascade. Phosphorylation of beta-Catenin in its N-terminal region by the kinase GSK-3beta is required for the interaction with the SCF-beta-TrCP protein complex that targets beta-Catenin for proteasome degradation. In the present
