2-fluoro-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol

Description:
2-Fluoro-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzyl alcohol moiety substituted with a fluorine atom and a trifluoromethyl group. The molecular structure features a benzene ring with a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) attached to it, along with a fluorine atom at the 2-position and a trifluoromethyl group (-CF3) at the 6-position. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It exhibits polar characteristics due to the hydroxyl group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding, influencing its solubility in polar solvents. The presence of the trifluoromethyl group enhances its lipophilicity and can affect its reactivity and biological activity. 2-Fluoro-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol may be utilized in various chemical syntheses and research applications, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, owing to its unique electronic and steric properties. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance.
