Atomfair 2-Fluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl chloride C8H5ClF4 CAS 883543-26-8

Description

2-Fluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl chloride (CAS No. 883543-26-8) is a high-purity fluorinated benzyl chloride derivative with the molecular formula C₈H₅ClF₄. This organofluorine compound, also known by its IUPAC name 2-(chloromethyl)-1-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene, is a versatile building block for pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical synthesis. The presence of both fluoro and trifluoromethyl groups enhances its reactivity and lipophilicity, making it valuable for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. Our product is rigorously tested by HPLC, GC, and NMR to ensure >98% purity, packaged under inert gas to prevent degradation. Available in research (1g-100g) and bulk (1kg+) quantities with optional custom synthesis services.
