General description

Ethyl fluoroacetate is an ester organic solvent.

Application

Ethyl fluoroacetate was used in the synthesis of 4-deoxy-4-fluoro-muscarines. It was used as starting reagent for the synthesis of ethyl(diethoxyphosphoryl)fluoroacetate. It was used in development of an ammonolysis-based microencapsulation process.

Four isomers of [(4-fluoro-5-methyl-tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methyl]trimethylammonium iodide (4-deoxy-4-fluoro-muscarines) were prepared in enantiomerically and diastereomerically pure form from (S)-(-)-methyl 4-methylphenyl sulfoxide, ethyl fluoroacetate, and allyl bromide. Their absolute configurations were assigned by 1H NMR analyses. The four optically pure compounds were tested in
