Ethyl 4-fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate

Description:
Ethyl 4-fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, specifically an ethyl ester of benzoic acid. The presence of a fluorine atom at the para position and a trifluoromethyl group at the meta position on the aromatic ring significantly influences its chemical properties, including its reactivity and polarity. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. Ethyl 4-fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its fluorinated groups can enhance biological activity and stability, making it a valuable compound in medicinal chemistry. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
