Physical and Chemical Properties
This compound features a benzene ring substituted with both trichloromethyl and trifluoromethyl groups at the meta position. The presence of fluorine atoms enhances the lipophilicity and metabolic stability of downstream products. With a boiling point of 211.8 degrees Celsius and a vapor pressure of 0.26 mmHg at 25 degrees Celsius, it requires careful handling during distillation and storage processes. The refractive index of 1.488 serves as a key identifier for quality verification during incoming inspection.
Industrial Applications
The primary application of this intermediate lies in the agrochemical industry, specifically serving as a precursor for Fluotrimazol (CAS 31251-03-3). It is utilized in complex organic synthesis routes where high regioselectivity is required. Beyond fungicides, fluorinated benzene derivatives are increasingly valuable in the development of novel crop protection agents that demand high environmental stability and targeted biological activity.
