Application

4-(Trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of trifluoromethyl-substituted pharmaceuticals, including protease inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents. Its electron-deficient aromatic ring makes it valuable in cross-coupling reactions for agrochemical production. Researchers also employ it as a building block for liquid crystals and specialty polymers due to its thermal stability and unique polarity.
