3-(Trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde（Cat No.:L041039）is an aromatic aldehyde featuring a trifluoromethyl (-CF₃) group at the meta (3-) position of the benzene ring relative to the aldehyde functional group. The strong electron-withdrawing nature of the CF₃ group significantly influences the compound’s reactivity, making it an important intermediate in organic synthesis. It is widely used in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and advanced materials. The trifluoromethyl group enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability in drug candidates, while the aldehyde moiety allows for versatile transformations such as condensation, reduction, and nucleophilic addition reactions.
