Description:2,3,6-Trifluorobenzaldehyde is an aromatic aldehyde characterized by the presence of three fluorine atoms attached to a benzene ring, specifically at the 2, 3, and 6 positions relative to the aldehyde functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature. It has a distinct aromatic odor, common to many benzaldehyde derivatives. The presence of fluorine atoms significantly influences its chemical properties, enhancing its reactivity and polarity compared to non-fluorinated analogs. 2,3,6-Trifluorobenzaldehyde is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic benzene ring. It is often utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, owing to its ability to participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic additions and electrophilic substitutions. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks through inhalation or skin contact.
