1-Methyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzene

Description:
1-Methyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzene, also known as 2-Trifluoromethyl-1-toluene, is an aromatic hydrocarbon characterized by the presence of a methyl group and a trifluoromethyl group attached to a benzene ring. Its molecular formula is C9H8F3, indicating the presence of nine carbon atoms, eight hydrogen atoms, and three fluorine atoms. This compound typically appears as a colorless liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is known for its relatively low boiling point and moderate solubility in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The trifluoromethyl group imparts unique electronic properties, making it a subject of interest in various chemical reactions and applications, including as a building block in organic synthesis and in the development of pharmaceuticals. Additionally, its fluorinated structure can enhance stability and lipophilicity, which are valuable traits in medicinal chemistry. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
