Overview
4-Fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile (CAS: 160598-57-6; Formula: C8H4F4N) is a key fluorinated intermediate synthesized via electrophilic substitution or nucleophilic aromatic displacement. It serves as a critical building block in fine chemical manufacturing.
Application
- Pharmaceutical synthesis for fluoro-substituted active ingredients.
- Agricultural chemistry for developing novel herbicides and pesticides.
- Material science for producing high-performance liquid crystals.
Precautions
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from oxidizers. Use appropriate PPE to prevent skin contact and inhalation of vapors due to potential toxicity and corrosive nature.
