1,2-Dichloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzene（Cat No.:L010901）is a halogenated aromatic compound featuring two chlorine atoms at the 1- and 2-positions and a trifluoromethyl (–CF₃) group at the 3-position of a benzene ring. This electron-deficient molecule exhibits increased chemical stability and lipophilicity due to the strongly withdrawing CF₃ group. It is commonly used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty materials. The presence of multiple halogens allows for regioselective functionalization via cross-coupling or nucleophilic aromatic substitution, making it a valuable building block in modern organic and medicinal chemistry.
