CAS 98-17-9

3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenol

Description:

3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenol, with the CAS number 98-17-9, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a trifluoromethyl group (-CF3) attached to the phenolic ring at the meta position. This compound appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature and purity. It is known for its distinctive properties, including a relatively high boiling point and moderate solubility in organic solvents. The trifluoromethyl group significantly influences its chemical behavior, enhancing its lipophilicity and making it a useful intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fluorinated compounds. Additionally, 3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenol exhibits weak acidity due to the hydroxyl (-OH) group, which can participate in hydrogen bonding. Its unique electronic properties, derived from the electronegative fluorine atoms, can also affect its reactivity and stability in various chemical reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
