3-Methoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine

Description:
3-Methoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring, which is a six-membered aromatic heterocycle containing one nitrogen atom. The presence of a methoxy group (-OCH3) at the 3-position and a trifluoromethyl group (-CF3) at the 4-position significantly influences its chemical properties and reactivity. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its form, and is known for its polar nature due to the electronegative fluorine atoms and the methoxy group. It exhibits moderate solubility in organic solvents and is less soluble in water. The trifluoromethyl group enhances the compound's lipophilicity and can affect its biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry and agrochemical applications. Additionally, the compound may participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and electrophilic aromatic substitutions, due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the trifluoromethyl group. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
