2-Trifluoromethylbenzyl bromide

Description:

2-Trifluoromethylbenzyl bromide, with the CAS number 395-44-8, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a trifluoromethyl group (-CF3) attached to a benzyl bromide structure. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its distinctive aromatic properties due to the benzene ring. The trifluoromethyl group enhances the compound's lipophilicity and can influence its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis applications, particularly in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. It is also notable for its potential as a building block in the synthesis of more complex molecules. The presence of bromine in the structure contributes to its reactivity, allowing for nucleophilic substitution reactions. However, handling this compound requires caution due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact, necessitating appropriate safety measures in laboratory settings. Overall, 2-Trifluoromethylbenzyl bromide is a valuable compound in organic chemistry, particularly in the development of new chemical entities.
