1-Methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene

Description:
1-Methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene, also known as p-CF3-methylbenzene, is an aromatic compound characterized by a methyl group and a trifluoromethyl group attached to a benzene ring. Its molecular formula is C9H8F3, indicating the presence of nine carbon atoms, eight hydrogen atoms, and three fluorine atoms. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a distinct aromatic odor. It is known for its relatively high stability due to the resonance of the aromatic ring, and the trifluoromethyl group imparts unique electronic properties, making it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis and pharmaceuticals. The presence of fluorine enhances its lipophilicity and can influence its reactivity and interaction with biological systems. 1-Methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene is generally insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, which is typical for many aromatic compounds. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as fluorinated compounds can pose specific health and environmental risks.
