2,4,5-Trifluorobenzeneacetaldehyde

Description:

2,4,5-Trifluorobenzeneacetaldehyde is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzene ring substituted with three fluorine atoms at the 2, 4, and 5 positions, along with an aldehyde functional group (-CHO) attached to an acetyl group. This compound is notable for its unique electronic properties due to the electronegative fluorine atoms, which can influence reactivity and stability. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a distinctive odor. The presence of fluorine atoms enhances its lipophilicity and can affect its solubility in various solvents. 2,4,5-Trifluorobenzeneacetaldehyde is of interest in synthetic organic chemistry, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, where fluorinated compounds often exhibit improved biological activity. Safety data indicates that, like many fluorinated compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns. Proper storage and disposal methods are essential to mitigate risks associated with its use.
