2-(Trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde（Cat No.:L041103）is an aromatic aldehyde featuring a trifluoromethyl group at the ortho (2-) position relative to the formyl functional group on a benzene ring. The strong electron-withdrawing nature of the trifluoromethyl group significantly influences the compound’s reactivity, enhancing its role in electrophilic aromatic substitution and condensation reactions. It serves as a valuable intermediate in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical synthesis, particularly in the development of fluorinated bioactive molecules. Its unique electronic properties also make it useful in the design of ligands, materials, and structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies.
