CAS 772-49-6

3-(Trifluoromethoxy)chlorobenzene

Description:

3-(Trifluoromethoxy)chlorobenzene, with the CAS number 772-49-6, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a chlorobenzene ring substituted at the meta position with a trifluoromethoxy group. This compound features a chlorine atom and a trifluoromethoxy group (-O-CF3) attached to a benzene ring, which significantly influences its chemical properties. The trifluoromethoxy group enhances the compound's electron-withdrawing characteristics, making it more reactive in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Additionally, the presence of fluorine atoms contributes to its lipophilicity and potential applications in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. 3-(Trifluoromethoxy)chlorobenzene is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is important to handle this compound with care due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact. Its unique structure and properties make it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis and materials science.
