2,4,6-Trifluorophenylacetic acid (CAS number 209991-63-9) is a derivative of phenylacetic acid with fluorine substitutions at 2-, 4- and 6-positions. 2,4,6-Trifluorophenylacetic acid readily couples with amines, catalysed by N-hydroxysuccinimide and N,N'-diisopropylcarbodiimide. Glucosamine-based supramolecular nanotubes is prepared with this method, demonstrating effective human mesenchylmal cell therapy.

Additionally, 2,4,6-trifluorophenylacetic acid is employed in the synthesis of pyridazines for agricultural fungicides. The preparation begins with a reaction of 2,4,6-trifluorophenylacetic acid and phenylglyoxylic acid under basic condition to form a furandione derivative. The fungicide is then obtained from a reaction of the resulting furandione and hydrazine.
