2-Methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl chloride

Description:
2-Methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl chloride is an organic compound characterized by its benzoyl chloride structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with both a methyl group and a trifluoromethyl group. The presence of the trifluoromethyl group significantly influences its chemical properties, imparting high electronegativity and making the compound more reactive. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its strong odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but may react with water, releasing hydrochloric acid and forming the corresponding carboxylic acid. As a benzoyl chloride derivative, it is often used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety precautions are essential when handling this compound, as it can be corrosive and irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from moisture is recommended to maintain its stability and reactivity.
