CAS 4088-84-0: 2-Fluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile
Description:2-Fluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with a fluorine atom and a trifluoromethyl group, as well as a cyano group (nitrile). The presence of the trifluoromethyl group significantly influences its chemical properties, enhancing its lipophilicity and making it a useful building block in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature and exhibits moderate solubility in organic solvents. Its molecular structure contributes to its potential reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions. The fluorine atoms in the trifluoromethyl group can also impart unique electronic properties, affecting the compound's behavior in various chemical environments. Additionally, 2-Fluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile may exhibit interesting biological activities, making it a subject of interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with many fluorinated compounds, due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns.
