2-Chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol

Description:
2-Chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzyl alcohol moiety substituted with a chlorine atom and a trifluoromethyl group. The presence of the chlorine atom at the second position and the trifluoromethyl group at the fifth position of the benzene ring significantly influences its chemical properties, including its reactivity and polarity. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the hydroxyl group. The trifluoromethyl group imparts unique electronic properties, making it useful in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and as a building block in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, the compound may exhibit biological activity, although specific biological properties would depend on the context of its use.
