2-bromo-3-(trifluoromethyl)toluene; CAS No.: 1099597-98-4;2-bromo-3-(trifluoromethyl)toluene. PROPERTIES: 2-bromo-3-(trifluoromethyl)toluene is a brominated and trifluoromethylated aromatic compound with molecular formula C8H7BrF3. It typically exists as a colorless liquid with a boiling point around 120-125 C. The compound has limited water solubility but dissolves well in organic solvents like chloroform or carbon tetrachloride. It exhibits moderate thermal stability but may decompose when exposed to high temperatures or strong bases, releasing toxic bromine vapors. Proper storage involves keeping it in tightly sealed containers below 25 C, away from heat sources and incompatible materials. APPLICATIONS: In organic synthesis, this compound serves as a versatile intermediate for creating complex aromatic systems. The bromo substituent provides a site for cross-coupling reactions to form biaryl structures, while the trifluoromethyl group offers strong electron-withdrawing effects that influence reactivity and selectivity (The Journal of Organic Chemistry). In pharmaceutical development, 2-bromo-3-(trifluoromethyl)toluene contributes to the synthesis of antimicrobial agents where the halogenated aromatic scaffold enhances binding to microbial targets (Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy). The compound also finds application in materials science as a building block for organic electronics, where its electron-deficient aromatic core modulates the electronic properties of derived materials (Advanced Materials).
