Application

o-(Trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde is widely used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals, including kinase inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents. Its electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl group enhances reactivity in nucleophilic aromatic substitution and cross-coupling reactions. Researchers also employ it to develop liquid crystals and agrochemicals due to its ability to modulate molecular polarity and stability. The compound’s ortho-substitution pattern is particularly valuable for constructing sterically hindered architectures in medicinal chemistry.
