CAS 394-59-2

4-(trifluoroacetyl)toluene

Description:

4-(Trifluoroacetyl)toluene, with the CAS number 394-59-2, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a toluene moiety and a trifluoroacetyl functional group. This compound features a benzene ring substituted with a methyl group (from toluene) and a trifluoroacetyl group at the para position. The trifluoroacetyl group imparts significant polarity and reactivity due to the electronegative fluorine atoms, which can influence the compound's chemical behavior, including its reactivity in nucleophilic substitution reactions. The presence of the trifluoroacetyl group also enhances the compound's ability to participate in various chemical transformations, making it useful in synthetic organic chemistry. Additionally, 4-(trifluoroacetyl)toluene may exhibit distinct physical properties such as solubility in organic solvents and specific melting and boiling points, which are influenced by its molecular structure. Safety considerations should be taken into account when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks due to its chemical nature.
