2-bromo-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl bromide; CAS No.: 657-64-7;2-bromo-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl bromide. PROPERTIES: 2-bromo-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl bromide is a brominated and trifluoromethylated aromatic alkyl bromide with molecular formula C9H7Br2F3. It typically exists as a colorless liquid with a boiling point around 150-155 C. The compound has limited water solubility but dissolves well in organic solvents like dichloromethane 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 building block for creating complex aromatic systems. The bromo substituents provide multiple sites for cross-coupling reactions to form biaryl structures, while the trifluoromethyl group offers strong electron-withdrawing effects that influence reactivity and selectivity (Tetrahedron Letters). In pharmaceutical development, 2-bromo-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl bromide 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 (Journal of Materials Chemistry C).
