(57) [Summary] [Structure] General formula 1 below (In the above formula, R 1 is a methyl group, an alkyl group having 3 or more carbon atoms, or an aryl group, and these groups may have a substituent), and a novel alkoxytrifluoropropanol. [Effects] The novel alkoxytrifluoropropanol compound of the present invention is useful as a raw material for functional organic compounds such as physiologically active substances such as medicines and agricultural chemicals, liquid crystals and surfactants, and is also an optically active 1,2-epoxy. Since -3,3,3-trifluoropropane is used, an optically active substance of this compound can be produced inexpensively and easily with a high yield. |
