CAS 25922-42-3: 2,3-Dichloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid

Description: 2,3-Dichloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of two chlorine atoms and one trifluoromethyl group attached to a benzoic acid structure. This compound features a benzene ring with substituents at the 2 and 3 positions (the dichloro groups) and at the 5 position (the trifluoromethyl group). The presence of these electronegative substituents significantly influences its chemical properties, including increased acidity and potential reactivity in electrophilic substitution reactions. The trifluoromethyl group enhances lipophilicity and can affect the compound's biological activity, making it of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, the compound is likely to exhibit moderate to high stability under standard conditions, but its reactivity may vary depending on the specific environment and conditions. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as halogenated compounds can pose environmental and health risks.
