α-Methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzenemethanol

Description:

α-Methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzenemethanol, with the CAS number 1737-26-4, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a methyl group and a trifluoromethyl group attached to a benzene ring. This compound features a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) that contributes to its classification as an alcohol. The presence of the trifluoromethyl group significantly influences its chemical properties, enhancing its lipophilicity and potentially affecting its reactivity and interactions with biological systems. The compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic characteristics. α-Methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzenemethanol may be utilized in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the development of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as compounds with trifluoromethyl groups can exhibit unique toxicological profiles.
