CAS 89520-72-9

Benzene, 1-[(chloromethyl)sulfonyl]-4-(trifluoromethyl)-

Description:

Benzene, 1-[(chloromethyl)sulfonyl]-4-(trifluoromethyl)-, also known by its CAS number 89520-72-9, is an organic compound characterized by a benzene ring substituted with a chloromethylsulfonyl group and a trifluoromethyl group. The presence of the trifluoromethyl group (-CF3) imparts unique electronic properties, enhancing the compound's lipophilicity and stability. The chloromethylsulfonyl group (-CH2SO2Cl) introduces reactivity, making it a potential electrophile in various chemical reactions. This compound is typically colorless to pale yellow and may have a distinct odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic benzene structure. As with many sulfonyl chlorides, it can be reactive, particularly with nucleophiles, and may release hydrochloric acid upon hydrolysis. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks, including irritation to the skin and respiratory system. Its applications may include use in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals.
