4-Chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl Bromide(CAT: L025609) is an organic compound that features a benzyl bromide structure with a chlorine atom at the 4-position and a trifluoromethyl group (-CF₃) at the 3-position of the benzene ring. This molecule is highly reactive due to the presence of the benzyl bromide group, which makes it suitable for nucleophilic substitution reactions, commonly used in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules. The trifluoromethyl group enhances the molecule’s lipophilicity and electronic properties, while the chlorine atom adds to its reactivity. This compound finds applications in pharmaceutical research, agrochemical development, and as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis for introducing functional groups into aromatic rings.
