3-(Trifluoromethyl)benzyl chloride (CAS 1205-49-8, C8H5F3Cl) is a key halogenated intermediate produced via chloromethylation of meta-trifluorotoluene. It serves as a vital building block for synthesizing fluorinated pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
Store in sealed containers under inert atmosphere at controlled temperatures below 25°C. Avoid moisture to prevent hydrolysis. Personnel must wear chemical-resistant PPE due to corrosive and irritant properties.
