Benzeneethanol, 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-

Description:

Benzeneethanol, 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-, also known by its CAS number 93427-28-2, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzene ring substituted with two trifluoromethyl groups and a hydroxyl group. This compound exhibits a unique combination of hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties due to the presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding, while the trifluoromethyl groups (-CF3) contribute to its lipophilicity and overall stability. The trifluoromethyl groups also enhance the compound's electron-withdrawing characteristics, which can influence its reactivity and interactions with other chemical species. Benzeneethanol derivatives are often studied for their potential applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science due to their unique electronic properties and structural features. Additionally, the presence of fluorine atoms typically imparts increased thermal and chemical stability, making such compounds of interest in various chemical research and industrial applications.
