2,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol

Description:
2,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzyl alcohol functional group, where the benzene ring is substituted with two trifluoromethyl groups at the 2 and 5 positions. This substitution significantly influences its chemical properties, including increased lipophilicity and altered reactivity due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the trifluoromethyl groups. The compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It exhibits moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water, which is common for many fluorinated compounds. The presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group in the benzyl alcohol structure allows for hydrogen bonding, which can affect its boiling point and melting point. Additionally, 2,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol may have applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or as an intermediate in organic synthesis due to its unique electronic and steric properties. Safety data should be consulted for handling and potential hazards associated with this compound.
