2,6-Bis(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid (Cat No.: R042822) is an aromatic carboxylic acid substituted with two trifluoromethyl groups at the 2- and 6-positions of the benzene ring. The strong electron-withdrawing effect of the CF₃ groups significantly influences the compound’s acidity and reactivity, making it useful in synthetic chemistry and materials science. It is often employed as a ligand precursor, building block, or modifier in pharmaceutical and agrochemical development. The compound’s fluorinated nature also imparts enhanced lipophilicity and metabolic stability. For research and development use only.
