Benzenemethanol, α-methyl-3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-

Description:

Benzenemethanol, α-methyl-3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-, also known by its CAS number 368-63-8, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and the presence of multiple functional groups. It features a benzene ring substituted with a methanol group and two trifluoromethyl groups at the 3 and 5 positions, which significantly influence its chemical properties. The trifluoromethyl groups are known for their electron-withdrawing effects, enhancing the compound's reactivity and stability under certain conditions. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is relatively insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, the presence of the trifluoromethyl groups can impart unique properties, such as increased lipophilicity and altered biological activity, which are of interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety data should be consulted, as compounds with trifluoromethyl groups can exhibit toxicity and environmental persistence.
