3-(Trifluoromethyl)benzyl bromide (CAS 10257-64-8, C8H6BrF3) is a key halogenated intermediate synthesized via electrophilic bromination of 3-trifluoromethyltoluene. It serves as a critical building block for introducing trifluoromethyl groups into complex molecular frameworks.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area under inert atmosphere to prevent hydrolysis. Use appropriate PPE due to lachrymatory and corrosive properties; avoid inhalation or skin contact during handling.
