4-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol

Description:
4-Fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzyl alcohol functional group, where a fluorine atom and a trifluoromethyl group are substituted on the benzene ring. The molecular structure features a benzene ring with a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) attached to it, along with a fluorine atom at the para position and a trifluoromethyl group (-CF3) at the ortho position relative to the hydroxymethyl group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It exhibits properties such as moderate solubility in organic solvents and potential reactivity due to the presence of both the alcohol and the electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl group, which can influence its chemical behavior in various reactions. The presence of fluorine atoms often enhances the compound's stability and lipophilicity, making it of interest in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as fluorinated compounds can exhibit unique toxicological profiles.
