2,2,2-Trifluoroethanol (TFE) or trifluoroethyl alcohol is a trifluoro substituted alcohol. It is a coloreless, water miscible liquid with a smell reminiscent of ethanol. Due to the electronegativity of fluorine atoms, this compound exhibits a stronger acidic character compared to ethanol. Thus TFE can form stable complexes also with heterocycles (e.g. THF or pyridine) through hydrogen bonding. ...more on Wikipedia about "2,2,2-Trifluoroethanol"

Acetic acid, also known as ethanoic acid, is an organic chemical compound best recognized for giving vinegar its sour taste and pungent smell. Pure water-free acetic acid is a colourless hygroscopic liquid (that is, it readily absorbs water) that freezes below 16.7 °C (62 °F) to a colourless crystalline solid. Acetic acid is corrosive, and its vapour is irritating to eyes and nose, although it is a weak acid based on its ability to dissociate in aqueous solutions. ...more on Wikipedia about "Acetic acid"

Benzaldehyde (C6H5CHO) is a chemical compound consisting of a benzene ring with an aldehyde substituent. It is the simplest representative of the aromatic aldehydes and one of the most industrially used members of this family of compounds. At room temperature it is a colorless liquid with a characteristic and pleasant almond-like odor: benzaldehyde is an important component of the scent of almonds hence its typical odor. It can be extracted from a number of natural sources in which it occurs, such as apricot, cherry, and laurel leaves, peach seeds and, in a glycoside combined form ( amygdalin), in certain nuts and kernels. Nowadays benzaldehyde is primarily made from toluene by a number of different processes. ...more on Wikipedia about "Benzaldehyde"
Benzene, also known as C6 H6, PhH, and benzol, is an organic chemical compound which is a colorless and flammable liquid with a pleasant, sweet smell. Benzene is a known carcinogen. It is a component of gasoline. It is an important industrial solvent and precursor in the production of drugs, plastics, gasoline, synthetic rubber, and dyes. Benzene is a natural constituent of crude oil, but it is usually synthesized from other compounds present in petroleum. Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon, and the second [n]- annulene ([6]-annulene). ...more on Wikipedia about "Benzene"
Benzyl alcohol, also known as phenylmethanol, is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild pleasant aromatic odor. It melts at -15 °C and boils at 205 °C. Benzyl alcohol has a good solvency, low toxicity and low vapor pressure. It is soluble in water and readily soluble in alcohol and ether. Benzyl alcohol is prepared by the hydrolysis of benzyl chloride in the presence of soda ash. It reacts with acids ( acetic, benzoic, and sebacic acids) to form esters and other compounds. ...more on Wikipedia about "Benzyl alcohol"

Dioctyl adipate or DOA (also bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate) is an oily, light colored liquid generally used as a plasticizer for PVC and is sometimes blended with other plasticizers such as DOP and DOTP. DOA is an ester of octanol and adipic acid. Its melting point is -67.8 °C and its boiling point is 214 °C at 5 mm Hg. It is insoluble in water, glycerine, and glycols. It is soluble in ethyl alcohol, diethyl ether, acetone, acetic acid, and most organic solvents. Its chemical formula is 22 42 4. ...more on Wikipedia about "Bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate"
Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (also BEHP, di-2-ethyl hexyl phthalate, DEHP, or dioctyl phthalate, DOP) is a phthalate , a branched-chain dioctyl ester of phthalic acid. At normal temperature, it is a liquid with the viscosity similar to vegetable oil. It possesses good plasticizing efficiency, fusion rate and viscosity. Due to its low cost, it is widely used as a plasticizer in manufacturing of PVC. Plastics may contain 1% to 40% of DEHP. It is also used as a hydraulic fluid and as a dielectric fluid in capacitors. Its chemical formula is C24 H38 O4. ...more on Wikipedia about "Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate"
