2-(Trifluoromethyl)benzyl chloride is a ligand that binds to the benzyl group. It has been used in vitro and in vivo assays to investigate the affinity of phenylacetylene for benzyl, chloride, and ketobemidone. 2-(Trifluoromethyl)benzyl chloride has been shown to yield higher affinity for phenylacetylene than for benzyl or chloride. The yields were significantly lower when compared to ketobemidone.
