1,1'-Biphenyl,4-methyl-4'-(trifluoromethyl)-

Description:

1,1'-Biphenyl,4-methyl-4'-(trifluoromethyl)-, also known by its CAS number 97067-18-0, is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure with a methyl group and a trifluoromethyl group attached to the para positions of one of the phenyl rings. This compound typically exhibits a white to light yellow crystalline appearance and is known for its relatively low solubility in water, while being more soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the trifluoromethyl group enhances its chemical stability and lipophilicity, making it useful in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the development of pharmaceuticals. Additionally, the compound may exhibit interesting electronic properties due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the trifluoromethyl group, which can influence its reactivity and interactions with other chemical species. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
