Ethyl 2-amino-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate

Description:

Ethyl 2-amino-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzoate moiety with an ethyl ester group and an amino group at the ortho position relative to the ester. The presence of a trifluoromethyl group at the 5-position significantly influences its chemical properties, enhancing its lipophilicity and potentially affecting its reactivity and biological activity. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic characteristics. Ethyl 2-amino-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate may exhibit interesting pharmacological properties, making it a subject of interest in medicinal chemistry. Its trifluoromethyl group can also impart unique electronic effects, which may influence the compound's interaction with biological targets. As with many fluorinated compounds, it may exhibit increased stability and resistance to metabolic degradation. Safety data and handling precautions should be observed, as with any chemical substance, particularly those with potential biological activity.
