1-Methyl-3-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene

Description:
1-Methyl-3-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene, also known as 3-Trifluoromethoxy-toluene, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a methyl group and a trifluoromethoxy group attached to a benzene ring. Its molecular structure features a benzene ring substituted at the 1-position with a methyl group and at the 3-position with a trifluoromethoxy group, which significantly influences its chemical properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is relatively non-polar due to the presence of the trifluoromethoxy group, which can enhance its lipophilicity and affect its solubility in various organic solvents. The trifluoromethoxy group imparts unique electronic properties, making it of interest in various chemical applications, including as a building block in organic synthesis and in the development of pharmaceuticals. Additionally, its stability and reactivity can be influenced by the presence of the electronegative fluorine atoms, which can participate in various chemical reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health and environmental risks.
