2-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)ethanol; CAS No.: 2968-93-6; 2-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)ethanol. PROPERTIES: This trifluoromethyl-substituted phenyl ethanol features molecular formula C?H?F?O? with molecular weight 204.17 g/mol. Exists as a liquid. Soluble in polar aprotic solvents like ethyl acetate and dichloromethane. Boiling point approximately 130-135 C. Exhibits IR absorption for hydroxyl group. Thermogravimetric analysis shows decomposition above 180 C under nitrogen. Store at 2-8 C in sealed containers. May cause skin irritation and eye damage. APPLICATIONS: As a trifluoromethyl-substituted alcohol, 2-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)ethanol is used in agrochemical synthesis. The hydroxyl group undergoes esterification to form bioactive derivatives. Also used in fluorescent probe synthesis, enabling conjugation via oxime formation. In materials science, it enhances thermal stability in polyaryl ethers due to trifluoromethyl substituents.
