Methyl 4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzoate

Description:

Methyl 4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzoate, with the CAS number 780-31-4, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and the presence of a trifluoromethoxy substituent. This compound features a methyl ester derived from p-aminobenzoic acid, where the para position of the benzene ring is substituted with a trifluoromethoxy group, which significantly influences its chemical properties. The trifluoromethoxy group enhances the compound's lipophilicity and can affect its reactivity and solubility in various solvents. Methyl 4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzoate is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of fluorine atoms contributes to its stability and unique electronic properties, making it a valuable compound in chemical research and industrial applications. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as with many fluorinated compounds, due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns.
