Benzenethiol, 2-bromo-4-(trifluoromethoxy)-

Description:

Benzenethiol, 2-bromo-4-(trifluoromethoxy)-, also known by its CAS number 875143-35-4, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a thiol (-SH) group attached to a benzene ring, which is further substituted with a bromine atom and a trifluoromethoxy group. This compound features a bromine atom at the 2-position and a trifluoromethoxy group (-O-CF3) at the 4-position of the benzene ring, contributing to its unique chemical properties. The trifluoromethoxy group enhances the compound's electron-withdrawing characteristics, which can influence its reactivity and solubility in various solvents. Benzenethiols are generally known for their strong odors and potential applications in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and materials science. The presence of both the bromine and trifluoromethoxy substituents can also affect the compound's stability and reactivity, making it a subject of interest in various chemical research fields. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound due to the potential toxicity associated with thiols and halogenated compounds.
