2-Methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde

Description:
2-Methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde, with the CAS number 888739-67-1, is an aromatic aldehyde characterized by the presence of both a methyl group and a trifluoromethyl group on a benzene ring. This compound features a benzaldehyde functional group, which is indicative of its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. The trifluoromethyl group significantly influences the compound's electronic properties, enhancing its lipophilicity and potentially affecting its reactivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. The presence of the methyl group provides steric hindrance, which can also influence reaction pathways. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents. Its unique structure makes it valuable in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, as well as in materials science. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
