3,3'-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzophenone; CAS No.: 1868-00-4;3,3'-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzophenone. PROPERTIES: 3,3'-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzophenone is a bis(trifluoromethylated) aromatic ketone with molecular formula C14H8F6O. It typically exists as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a boiling point around 160-165 C. The compound has limited water solubility but dissolves well in organic solvents like dichloromethane or THF. It exhibits moderate thermal stability but may decompose when exposed to high temperatures or strong bases, releasing toxic fluorine-containing fumes. Proper storage involves keeping it in tightly sealed containers below 20 C, protected from light and moisture. APPLICATIONS: In organic synthesis, this compound serves as a versatile intermediate for creating complex aromatic systems. The bis(trifluoromethyl) substituents provide strong electron-withdrawing effects that influence reactivity and selectivity, while the ketone group enables nucleophilic addition reactions (The Journal of Organic Chemistry). In pharmaceutical development, 3,3'-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzophenone 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).
