2-hydroxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid

Description:
2-Hydroxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid, also known as TFBA, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group and a trifluoromethyl group on a benzene ring. This compound features a benzoic acid structure, where the hydroxyl group is positioned at the ortho position relative to the carboxylic acid, and the trifluoromethyl group is located at the meta position. The trifluoromethyl group significantly influences the compound's chemical properties, enhancing its lipophilicity and altering its reactivity. TFBA is typically a solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents. It exhibits acidic properties due to the carboxylic acid functional group, which can participate in hydrogen bonding and influence its interactions in various chemical environments. This compound is of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its potential applications in synthesis and as a building block for more complex molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with all chemical substances.
