Methyl 2-chloro-5-(trifluoromethoxy)benzoate

Description:
Methyl 2-chloro-5-(trifluoromethoxy)benzoate is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzoate moiety with a chlorine atom and a trifluoromethoxy group. The presence of the chlorine atom at the 2-position and the trifluoromethoxy group at the 5-position contributes to its unique chemical properties, including increased lipophilicity and potential reactivity in electrophilic substitution reactions. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. It is soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its non-polar characteristics, while exhibiting limited solubility in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the trifluoromethoxy group. Methyl 2-chloro-5-(trifluoromethoxy)benzoate may be utilized in various applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as halogenated compounds can pose health and environmental risks.
