2-Bromo-6-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde

Description:

2-Bromo-6-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde is an aromatic aldehyde characterized by the presence of a benzene ring substituted with a bromine atom, a chlorine atom, and a trifluoromethyl group, along with an aldehyde functional group. The molecular structure features a highly electronegative trifluoromethyl group, which significantly influences the compound's reactivity and polarity. This compound is typically a pale yellow to light brown solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and acetone, but less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic nature. The presence of halogen substituents can enhance its reactivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions and may also impart unique properties such as increased lipophilicity. 2-Bromo-6-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde is often utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its versatile reactivity and the ability to serve as a building block for more complex molecules. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks.
