Benzene, 2-bromo-3,4-difluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)-

Description:

Benzene, 2-bromo-3,4-difluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)-, also known by its CAS number 663601-56-7, is a halogenated aromatic compound characterized by the presence of multiple fluorine and bromine substituents on a benzene ring. This compound features a bromine atom at the 2-position and two fluorine atoms at the 3 and 4 positions, along with a trifluoromethyl group (-CF3) at the 1-position. The presence of these electronegative halogens significantly influences its chemical properties, including increased reactivity and potential applications in various fields such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science. The trifluoromethyl group enhances lipophilicity, which can affect the compound's biological activity and solubility. Additionally, the compound's structure suggests potential for participation in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, making it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety considerations are paramount due to the toxicity and environmental impact associated with halogenated compounds, necessitating careful handling and disposal.
