4-chloro-3-(trifluoromethoxy)benzoic acid

Description:
4-Chloro-3-(trifluoromethoxy)benzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a chloro group and a trifluoromethoxy group attached to a benzoic acid framework. The molecular structure features a benzene ring substituted at the 4-position with a chlorine atom and at the 3-position with a trifluoromethoxy group (-O-CF3), which significantly influences its chemical properties. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and exhibits moderate solubility in organic solvents, while its solubility in water may be limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the trifluoromethoxy group. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation. Additionally, the trifluoromethoxy group enhances the compound's lipophilicity and may influence its biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as halogenated compounds can pose environmental and health risks.
