3-Fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol

Description:
3-Fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzyl alcohol moiety substituted with a fluorine atom and a trifluoromethyl group. The molecular structure features a benzene ring with a hydroxymethyl (-CH2OH) group attached to one carbon and a trifluoromethyl group (-CF3) and a fluorine atom (-F) on adjacent carbons. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It exhibits polar characteristics due to the hydroxyl group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding, influencing its solubility in polar solvents. The presence of the trifluoromethyl group enhances its lipophilicity and can affect its reactivity and biological activity. 3-Fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol may be utilized in various applications, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its unique electronic properties and potential as a building block in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
