3-(Trifluoromethyl)benzyl bromide (CAS: 452-17-9, Formula: C8H6BrF3) is a key fluorinated intermediate synthesized via electrophilic substitution of benzyl bromide with trifluoromethylating agents. It serves as a critical building block for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from oxidizers. Use PPE including nitrile gloves and goggles; handle under inert atmosphere to prevent hydrolysis and release of corrosive hydrogen bromide.
