Benzenemethanol, a-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)-

Description:

Benzenemethanol, a-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)-, also known by its CAS number 109769-57-5, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and functional groups. It features a benzene ring substituted with a benzylic alcohol group and two notable substituents: a tert-butyl group (1,1-dimethylethyl) and a trifluoromethyl group. The presence of the trifluoromethyl group significantly influences the compound's chemical properties, enhancing its lipophilicity and potentially affecting its reactivity and interaction with biological systems. The tert-butyl group contributes to steric hindrance, which can impact the compound's conformation and reactivity. This compound is typically colorless to pale yellow in appearance and may exhibit moderate volatility. Its solubility in organic solvents is generally favorable, while its solubility in water is limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic and tert-butyl components. Overall, this compound is of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its unique structural features and potential applications.
