2-bromo-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid; CAS No.: 177420-64-3; 2-bromo-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid. PROPERTIES: This bromo-trifluoromethyl-substituted benzoic acid features molecular formula C?H?BrF?O? with molecular weight 243.08 g/mol. Exists as a crystalline solid. Soluble in polar aprotic solvents like DMF and DMSO. Melting point approximately 110-115 C. Exhibits IR absorption for carboxylic acid group. Thermogravimetric analysis shows decomposition above 180 C under nitrogen. Store at 2-8 C in sealed containers. May cause severe skin burns and eye damage. APPLICATIONS: As a brominated carboxylic acid, 2-bromo-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid is used in beta-blocker synthesis. The carboxylic acid group forms amide bonds. Also used in fluorescent probe synthesis, enabling conjugation via amide bond formation. In materials science, it enhances thermal stability in polyaryl acid polymers due to trifluoromethyl substituents.
