Benzeneethanol, α-(trifluoromethyl)-, also known as 2-(trifluoromethyl)phenethyl alcohol, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzene ring substituted with a trifluoromethyl group and an alcohol functional group. Its molecular structure features a phenethyl backbone, where the trifluoromethyl group (-CF3) is attached to the alpha position relative to the hydroxyl (-OH) group. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is known for its relatively low solubility in water but is soluble in organic solvents. The trifluoromethyl group imparts unique electronic and steric properties, influencing the compound's reactivity and interactions. Benzeneethanol, α-(trifluoromethyl)- may be utilized in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the development of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Safety considerations should be taken into account, as compounds containing trifluoromethyl groups can exhibit toxicity and environmental persistence. Proper handling and disposal protocols are essential when working with this substance.
