2-Methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenol

Description:
2-Methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenol, with the CAS number 1017778-05-0, is an organic compound characterized by a phenolic structure that features both a methyl group and a trifluoromethyl group attached to the aromatic ring. The presence of the trifluoromethyl group significantly influences its chemical properties, enhancing its lipophilicity and potentially affecting its reactivity and biological activity. This compound typically exhibits a solid state at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, while its solubility in water is limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the trifluoromethyl group. The phenolic hydroxyl group contributes to its acidity, making it a weak acid. Additionally, 2-Methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenol may exhibit antimicrobial or antifungal properties, which can be of interest in various applications, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its unique structure and properties make it a subject of study in fields such as medicinal chemistry and materials science. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
