2,4,5-trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoic acid; CAS No.: 112811-65-1;2,4,5-trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoic acid. PROPERTIES: 2,4,5-trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoic acid is a fluorinated and methoxylated aromatic carboxylic acid with molecular formula C8H4F3O3. It typically exists as a white to off-white crystalline powder with a melting point of approximately 160-165 C. The compound has limited water solubility but dissolves in basic aqueous solutions. It exhibits moderate thermal stability but may decompose when exposed to high temperatures or strong acids, releasing toxic fluorine-containing fumes. Proper storage involves keeping it in tightly sealed containers below 30 C, protected from moisture and heat. APPLICATIONS: In pharmaceutical research, this compound serves as a lead structure for developing antimicrobial and anticancer agents. The trifluoro substitution provides electron-withdrawing effects that enhance binding to biological targets, while the methoxy and carboxylic acid groups form the pharmacophore essential for activity (European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry). In materials science, 2,4,5-trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoic acid contributes to the creation of functional organic materials with tailored electronic properties. Its fluorinated aromatic core and carboxylic acid group influence the electronic characteristics of derived materials, useful in optoelectronic applications such as organic field-effect transistors (Journal of Materials Chemistry C). The compound can also form coordination polymers or metal-organic frameworks with potential applications in gas storage or catalysis (Chemistry of Materials).
