4-METHYL-2-(TRIFLUOROMETHYL)BENZOIC ACID

Description:

4-Methyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a methyl group and a trifluoromethyl group attached to a benzene ring. The molecular structure features a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH), which imparts acidic properties to the compound. The trifluoromethyl group (-CF3) is known for its electron-withdrawing effects, which can influence the acidity and reactivity of the compound. This substance is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit moderate solubility in organic solvents, while its solubility in water is generally limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic ring and the trifluoromethyl group. The presence of fluorine atoms can also enhance the compound's stability and alter its physical properties, such as boiling and melting points. 4-Methyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid is utilized in various chemical syntheses and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
