:

4-Chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzioc acid

Description:
4-Chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid, with the CAS number 1737-36-6, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a chloro group and a trifluoromethyl group on a benzoic acid structure. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is known for its relatively high melting point. The presence of the electronegative chlorine and trifluoromethyl groups contributes to its unique chemical properties, including increased acidity compared to benzoic acid due to the electron-withdrawing effects of these substituents. It is often used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, its fluorinated structure may impart specific biological activities or enhance solubility in certain solvents. Safety data indicates that, like many halogenated compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may pose environmental and health risks. Proper storage and disposal methods are essential to mitigate any potential hazards associated with this chemical.
