2-Hydroxy-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid

Description:
2-Hydroxy-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid, also known as a derivative of salicylic acid, is characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a trifluoromethyl group (-CF3) attached to a benzene ring. This compound typically exhibits acidic properties due to the carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH), which can donate protons in solution. The trifluoromethyl group enhances the lipophilicity and stability of the molecule, influencing its reactivity and solubility in organic solvents. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to hydrogen bonding capabilities, which can affect its interaction with biological systems and other chemical species. This compound may be utilized in various applications, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its potential biological activity. Its unique structure allows for specific interactions with enzymes or receptors, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. As with many fluorinated compounds, it may exhibit distinct physical and chemical properties compared to its non-fluorinated counterparts, such as altered boiling and melting points.
