Description
2,6-Bis(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile (CAS No. 25753-25-7) is a high-purity fluorinated aromatic nitrile compound with the molecular formula C9H3F6N. This specialty chemical features two electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl groups ortho to a nitrile functionality, making it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. The compound is supplied as a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor, and is rigorously tested for purity (typically ≥98% by GC). It is packaged under inert gas to ensure stability and shipped with a detailed Certificate of Analysis. Ideal for use in nucleophilic substitution reactions, cross-coupling chemistry, and as a building block for advanced materials, this reagent is handled in a controlled environment to maintain its integrity. Store in a cool, dry place away from oxidizing agents and strong bases.

Application
2,6-Bis(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile serves as a key precursor in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and liquid crystals due to its electron-deficient aromatic ring. The trifluoromethyl groups enhance metabolic stability in drug discovery, making it valuable for developing kinase inhibitors and CNS-active compounds. It is also employed in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions to construct complex heterocycles. In materials science, this nitrile derivative contributes to the design of high-performance polymers with exceptional thermal and chemical resistance.
