Description

4-(Trifluoromethoxy)benzonitrile (CAS No. 332-25-2) is a high-purity fluorinated aromatic nitrile compound with the molecular formula C8H4F3NO. This specialty chemical features a benzonitrile core substituted with a trifluoromethoxy group at the para position, offering unique electronic and steric properties. With a molecular weight of 187.12 g/mol, it is a versatile intermediate for pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials science applications. The compound is supplied as a clear to pale-yellow liquid or crystalline solid (depending on storage conditions) with ??97% purity (GC). It is soluble in common organic solvents like DCM, THF, and acetonitrile but exhibits limited water solubility. Proper storage under inert atmosphere at 2-8??C is recommended to maintain stability. This product is ideal for nucleophilic substitution reactions, palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings, and as a building block for liquid crystals or bioactive molecules.

Application

4-(Trifluoromethoxy)benzonitrile serves as a key synthetic intermediate for trifluoromethoxy-containing compounds in medicinal chemistry, particularly in CNS drug development. The trifluoromethoxy group enhances metabolic stability and lipophilicity of lead compounds. In material science, it’s used to modify liquid crystal properties and as a monomer for specialty polymers. The nitrile functionality allows further transformations into tetrazoles, amides, or carboxylic acid derivatives.
