4-(trifluoromethoxy)toluene

Description:
4-(Trifluoromethoxy)toluene, with the CAS number 706-27-4, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a trifluoromethoxy group (-O-CF3) attached to a toluene backbone. This compound features a benzene ring with a methyl group (from toluene) and a trifluoromethoxy substituent at the para position. The trifluoromethoxy group imparts unique electronic and steric properties, making the compound of interest in various chemical applications, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. The presence of fluorine atoms enhances its stability and lipophilicity, which can influence its reactivity and solubility in organic solvents. Additionally, 4-(trifluoromethoxy)toluene may exhibit interesting properties such as increased hydrophobicity and potential utility in materials science. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as fluorinated compounds can pose specific health and environmental risks.
