Description:2,3,4-Trifluorobenzoyl chloride is an aromatic acyl chloride characterized by the presence of three fluorine atoms positioned at the 2, 3, and 4 positions on a benzene ring, along with a carbonyl group (C=O) and a chlorine atom (Cl) attached to the benzene. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, indicative of its reactivity. It is known for its role as an acylating agent in organic synthesis, particularly in the formation of various derivatives through acylation reactions. The presence of fluorine atoms enhances its electrophilicity, making it more reactive compared to non-fluorinated analogs. Additionally, 2,3,4-trifluorobenzoyl chloride is sensitive to moisture and can hydrolyze to form the corresponding carboxylic acid and hydrochloric acid. Safety precautions are essential when handling this compound due to its corrosive nature and potential to cause severe irritation to skin and eyes. Proper storage in a cool, dry place, away from moisture, is recommended to maintain its stability.
