2-Chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde

Description:
2-Chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a chloro group and a trifluoromethyl group attached to a benzaldehyde moiety. Its molecular structure features a benzene ring with a formyl group (-CHO) at one position and a chlorine atom at the ortho position relative to the formyl group, while a trifluoromethyl group (-CF3) is located at the meta position. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature and purity. It exhibits significant reactivity due to the electron-withdrawing effects of the trifluoromethyl group, which can influence its chemical behavior in various reactions, such as electrophilic aromatic substitution. Additionally, the presence of the chlorine atom can enhance its reactivity in nucleophilic substitution reactions. 2-Chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde is used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Proper handling and storage are essential due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact.
