4-(Trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde（Cat No.:R029632）is an aromatic aldehyde featuring a trifluoromethyl group at the para position of the benzene ring. This compound is widely used in organic synthesis, pharmaceutical development, and agrochemical research due to its strong electron-withdrawing CF₃ group, which can influence reactivity and biological activity. It serves as a valuable building block in the preparation of heterocycles, intermediates, and fluorinated derivatives. Its unique combination of an aldehyde function and trifluoromethyl substitution enhances its utility in designing molecules with improved lipophilicity, stability, and bioavailability in medicinal chemistry.
