4-Chlorobenzotrifluoride (Cat. No: R009621) is an aromatic compound consisting of a benzene ring substituted with a chlorine atom at the para (4) position and a trifluoromethyl (-CF₃) group. It is a colorless liquid commonly used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals. The trifluoromethyl group imparts lipophilicity and metabolic stability, while the chlorine atom allows for further functionalization through substitution or cross-coupling reactions. Its chemical stability and reactivity make it valuable in fine chemical and material development.
