2-Methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl chloride is a hydrofluoric acid derivative that is synthesized by the reaction of 2-methylbenzyl chloride with hydrofluoric acid. The hydroxy group in this molecule is important for its reactivity. The fluorine atom in this molecule has a high electronegativity and makes it reactive. This compound can be used to produce olefins, phenols, and other organic compounds. Trifluoromethyl groups are often found in pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and solvents. Nitro groups on the other hand are found in explosives, dyes, and drugs.
