3-Fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl bromide (CAS: 100527-89-1, Formula: C8H5BrF4) is a specialized fluorinated alkylating agent produced via bromination of the corresponding benzyl alcohol. It serves as a critical intermediate for introducing trifluoromethyl and fluoro groups into complex molecular scaffolds.
Store under inert atmosphere at temperatures below 25°C to prevent hydrolysis. Use appropriate PPE including nitrile gloves and eye protection due to corrosive and lachrymatory properties. Strictly avoid contact with moisture and strong bases.
