:Naphthalene, 2-(trifluoromethyl)-
Description:
Naphthalene, 2-(trifluoromethyl)-, also known as 2-trifluoromethylnaphthalene, is an aromatic hydrocarbon characterized by a naphthalene backbone with a trifluoromethyl group (-CF3) attached to the second carbon of the naphthalene ring. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature and has a distinctive aromatic odor. It is relatively insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. The presence of the trifluoromethyl group enhances its chemical stability and lipophilicity, making it useful in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Naphthalene derivatives, including this compound, can exhibit interesting electronic properties due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the trifluoromethyl group, which can influence reactivity and interaction with other chemical species. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may pose health risks upon exposure.
