:

4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzyl mercaptan

Description:
4-(Trifluoromethoxy)benzyl mercaptan, identified by its CAS number 175278-03-2, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzyl group attached to a mercaptan functional group (-SH) and a trifluoromethoxy group (-O-CF3) at the para position of the benzene ring. This compound exhibits properties typical of thiols, including a strong sulfur-hydrogen bond that imparts a characteristic odor and reactivity. The trifluoromethoxy group enhances the compound's lipophilicity and may influence its chemical reactivity and stability, making it potentially useful in various applications, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of fluorine atoms can also impart unique electronic properties, affecting the compound's interaction with biological systems. Additionally, due to the presence of the mercaptan group, this substance may participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions and can act as a reducing agent. Safety considerations should be taken into account when handling this compound, as thiols can be toxic and have strong odors.
