Ethyl 2,3,6-trifluorobenzeneacetate

Description:

Ethyl 2,3,6-trifluorobenzeneacetate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and a trifluoromethyl-substituted aromatic ring. The presence of three fluorine atoms at the 2, 3, and 6 positions of the benzene ring significantly influences its chemical properties, including increased electronegativity and altered reactivity compared to non-fluorinated analogs. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits low solubility in water due to its hydrophobic characteristics. Ethyl 2,3,6-trifluorobenzeneacetate is often utilized in synthetic organic chemistry, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, owing to its unique electronic properties and potential as a building block in complex molecular architectures. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as fluorinated compounds can pose specific health and environmental risks.
