5-Methyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid

Description:
5-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, influencing the compound's reactivity and solubility. This substance typically exhibits moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. It may be utilized in various chemical syntheses and applications, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of fluorine atoms can enhance the compound's biological activity and stability. As with many fluorinated compounds, it may exhibit unique properties such as increased lipophilicity and altered metabolic pathways. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as the trifluoromethyl group can impart specific hazards associated with fluorinated compounds.
