3-(Trifluoromethyl)benzyl chloride

Description:
3-(Trifluoromethyl)benzyl chloride, with the CAS number 705-29-3, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzyl group substituted with a trifluoromethyl group at the meta position. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is known for its reactivity due to the presence of the chlorine atom, which can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. The trifluoromethyl group contributes to the compound's lipophilicity and can influence its electronic properties, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, the trifluoromethyl group enhances the compound's stability and volatility. 3-(Trifluoromethyl)benzyl chloride is generally handled with care due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact, necessitating appropriate safety measures during storage and use.
