3-(trifluoromethoxy)benzoyl chloride

Description:
3-(Trifluoromethoxy)benzoyl chloride is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzoyl chloride functional group and a trifluoromethoxy substituent. Its molecular structure features a benzene ring with a carbonyl group (C=O) attached to a chlorine atom (Cl) at the carbon adjacent to the ring, along with a trifluoromethoxy group (-O-CF3) at the meta position relative to the carbonyl. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is known for its reactivity, particularly due to the presence of the acyl chloride functional group, which can undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions. The trifluoromethoxy group imparts unique electronic properties, enhancing the compound's lipophilicity and potentially influencing its reactivity and interactions in various chemical environments. 3-(Trifluoromethoxy)benzoyl chloride is utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, where it serves as an important intermediate. Proper handling and storage are essential due to its reactive nature and potential hazards associated with the chlorine atom.
