3-Chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde

Description:
3-Chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde is an aromatic aldehyde characterized by the presence of a chloro group and a trifluoromethyl group on a benzene ring. The molecular structure features a benzaldehyde functional group, which is indicative of its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is known for its strong electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl group, which significantly influences its chemical properties, including increased acidity and reactivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. The presence of the chlorine atom also contributes to its reactivity and can affect its solubility in various solvents. 3-Chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde is utilized in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals, making it a valuable intermediate in organic chemistry. As with many halogenated compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns.
