4-Methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid

Description:
4-Methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a methyl group and a trifluoromethyl group attached to a benzene ring. The molecular structure features a benzoic acid core, which contributes to its acidic properties. The trifluoromethyl group significantly influences the compound's electronic properties, enhancing its lipophilicity and potentially affecting its reactivity and interactions in various chemical environments. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit moderate solubility in organic solvents. Its unique substituents can impart distinctive characteristics, such as increased stability and altered boiling and melting points compared to similar compounds. 4-Methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid is of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its potential applications in synthesis and as an intermediate in chemical reactions. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as with many fluorinated compounds, due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns.
