methyl 2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate

Description:
Methyl 2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate, with the CAS number 344-96-7, is an aromatic ester characterized by the presence of a benzoate group and a trifluoromethyl substituent. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is known for its relatively low solubility in water but is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. The trifluoromethyl group contributes to its unique chemical properties, including increased lipophilicity and potential reactivity in various chemical reactions, such as nucleophilic substitutions. Methyl 2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate is often used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, it exhibits stability under normal conditions but should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns associated with fluorinated compounds. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when working with this substance.
