2-Methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenol

Description:
2-Methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenol, with the CAS number 77227-90-8, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a phenolic hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a benzene ring that also features a methyl group and a trifluoromethyl group. This compound typically appears as a solid or liquid, depending on its specific form and purity. The trifluoromethyl group contributes to its unique chemical properties, including increased lipophilicity and potential biological activity. It is often used in various applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts acidity, allowing it to participate in hydrogen bonding, which can influence its solubility and reactivity. Additionally, the trifluoromethyl group can enhance the compound's stability and alter its electronic properties, making it of interest in materials science and medicinal chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
