2,3-Difluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid

Description:
2,3-Difluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of two fluorine atoms at the 2 and 3 positions and a trifluoromethyl group at the 4 position of the benzene ring. This compound is notable for its high electronegativity due to the fluorine substituents, which can significantly influence its chemical reactivity and physical properties. It typically appears as a solid at room temperature and is soluble in polar organic solvents. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and amidation. Additionally, the fluorinated groups enhance its stability and may impart unique characteristics, such as increased lipophilicity and altered biological activity. This compound is of interest in fields such as pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, where fluorinated compounds often exhibit improved efficacy and selectivity. Safety data should be consulted for handling and potential hazards associated with this substance.
