CAS 313-12-2: 2-Amino-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid
Description:2-Amino-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid, with the CAS number 313-12-2, is an aromatic amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of an amino group (-NH2) and a trifluoromethyl group (-CF3) attached to a benzoic acid structure. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to the carboxylic acid functional group. The trifluoromethyl group significantly influences its chemical properties, enhancing lipophilicity and altering reactivity compared to other benzoic acids. It is often utilized in pharmaceutical research and organic synthesis due to its unique electronic and steric properties. The presence of the amino group allows for potential interactions in biological systems, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Additionally, the compound may exhibit various biological activities, including antimicrobial or anti-inflammatory effects, although specific activities can vary based on structural modifications and environmental conditions. Proper handling and safety measures should be observed, as with all chemical substances.
