Description

4-Methyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic Acid (CAS No. 261952-01-6) is a high-purity fluorinated aromatic carboxylic acid with the molecular formula C₉H₇F₃O₂. This compound is a valuable building block in organic synthesis, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its structure features a trifluoromethyl group at the 2-position and a methyl group at the 4-position of the benzoic acid ring, offering unique electronic and steric properties for derivatization. Supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder, it is characterized by excellent solubility in common organic solvents such as DMSO, methanol, and dichloromethane. Ideal for researchers seeking to explore fluorinated intermediates, this product is rigorously tested for purity (typically ??95% by HPLC or GC analysis) and is packaged under inert conditions to ensure stability.

Application

4-Methyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic Acid is widely used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals, including potential candidates for anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agents. Its trifluoromethyl group enhances metabolic stability and lipophilicity, making it valuable in drug discovery. This compound also serves as a precursor in the development of advanced materials and liquid crystals. Researchers utilize it to study structure-activity relationships in medicinal chemistry due to its unique electronic effects.
