CAS 85630-83-7

Acetyl chloride, [3-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]-

Description:

Acetyl chloride, [3-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]-, with the CAS number 85630-83-7, is an organic compound characterized by its acetyl chloride functional group attached to a phenoxy moiety that features a trifluoromethyl substituent. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its strong reactivity, particularly as an acylating agent. It is soluble in organic solvents but reacts vigorously with water, releasing hydrochloric acid and forming the corresponding phenolic compound. The presence of the trifluoromethyl group enhances the compound's lipophilicity and can influence its chemical reactivity and stability. Acetyl chloride derivatives are often utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of esters and amides. Due to its reactive nature, appropriate safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it can be corrosive and irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.
