1H-Benzimidazole, 2-methyl-5-[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]-

Description:

1H-Benzimidazole, 2-methyl-5-[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]- is a chemical compound characterized by its benzimidazole core, which is a bicyclic structure containing both benzene and imidazole rings. The presence of a methyl group at the 2-position and a trifluoromethylsulfonyl group at the 5-position contributes to its unique chemical properties. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit moderate solubility in polar organic solvents. The trifluoromethylsulfonyl group is known for enhancing the compound's reactivity and potential biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Additionally, the presence of fluorine atoms can influence the compound's lipophilicity and metabolic stability. As with many benzimidazole derivatives, this compound may exhibit various biological activities, including antimicrobial or antifungal properties, although specific biological data would depend on empirical studies. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as the trifluoromethylsulfonyl moiety may pose specific hazards.
