CAS 78573-45-2: 3-(Trifluoromethyl)benzenepropanol

Description:3-(Trifluoromethyl)benzenepropanol, identified by its CAS number 78573-45-2, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a trifluoromethyl group attached to a benzene ring, along with a propanol functional group. This compound typically exhibits a polar nature due to the hydroxyl (-OH) group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding, influencing its solubility in various solvents. The trifluoromethyl group contributes to the compound's unique electronic properties, often enhancing its lipophilicity and stability. As a result, 3-(Trifluoromethyl)benzenepropanol may exhibit interesting reactivity patterns in organic synthesis and could serve as a valuable intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its physical properties, such as boiling point and melting point, would depend on the specific molecular interactions and structural conformation. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as with many fluorinated compounds, due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns. Overall, this compound represents a significant interest in both industrial and research applications.
