1-Methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzene

Description:
1-Methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzene, also known as m-trifluoromethyl toluene, is an aromatic hydrocarbon characterized by a methyl group and a trifluoromethyl group attached to a benzene ring. Its molecular formula is C9H8F3, and it features a unique combination of hydrophobic and electron-withdrawing properties due to the presence of the trifluoromethyl group. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a distinct aromatic odor. It has a relatively low boiling point and moderate solubility in organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical applications, including as a solvent and in the synthesis of other organic compounds. The trifluoromethyl group enhances the compound's reactivity, particularly in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Additionally, 1-Methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzene is of interest in materials science and pharmaceuticals due to its unique electronic properties. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
