Overview
Ortho bromotrifluoromethylbenzene is a key fluorinated intermediate produced via direct bromination or halogen exchange of toluene derivatives. Its molecular formula is C7H4BrF3 (CAS: 386-15-2), widely utilized in organic synthesis for introducing trifluoromethyl groups.
Application
- Pharmaceuticals: Synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and agrochemicals.
- Agriculture: Production of herbicides and fungicides requiring high metabolic stability.
- Materials: Fabrication of advanced liquid crystals and specialized polymers.
Precautions
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from oxidizers. Use appropriate PPE including chemical-resistant gloves and goggles due to potential skin irritation and respiratory hazards upon exposure.
