Description:3-(Trifluoromethoxy)benzaldehyde, with the CAS number 52771-21-8, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzaldehyde functional group and a trifluoromethoxy substituent. This compound features a benzene ring substituted at the meta position with a trifluoromethoxy group (-O-CF3), which significantly influences its chemical properties. The trifluoromethoxy group is known for its electron-withdrawing effects, which can enhance the reactivity of the aldehyde functional group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents and may exhibit moderate volatility. 3-(Trifluoromethoxy)benzaldehyde is of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its potential applications in synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of more complex molecules. Its unique electronic properties make it a valuable building block in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of fluorinated compounds.
