CAS 368-77-4

3-(Trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile

Description:

3-(Trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile, with the CAS number 368-77-4, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a trifluoromethyl group (-CF3) and a nitrile group (-C≡N) attached to a benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its physical state at room temperature. It is known for its relatively high stability and low reactivity due to the strong carbon-fluorine bonds in the trifluoromethyl group. The presence of the nitrile group contributes to its polarity and potential for hydrogen bonding, influencing its solubility in various organic solvents. 3-(Trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile is often utilized in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its unique electronic properties, imparted by the trifluoromethyl group, can enhance the biological activity of compounds in which it is incorporated. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
