Benzoic acid, 4-methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-, methyl ester

Description:
Benzoic acid, 4-methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-, methyl ester, commonly referred to as methyl 4-methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a benzoate structure with a methyl group and a trifluoromethyl group attached to the aromatic ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is known for its distinctive aromatic odor and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The trifluoromethyl group contributes to its unique chemical properties, including increased lipophilicity and potential biological activity. This compound is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks upon exposure.
