5-Trifluoromethylphenol（Cat No.:R021569）is an aromatic compound characterized by a hydroxyl group at the 1-position and a trifluoromethyl (–CF₃) group at the 5-position of a benzene ring. The presence of the electron-withdrawing CF₃ group significantly influences the compound’s acidity and reactivity, enhancing its value in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical development. It serves as a versatile intermediate in the preparation of agrochemicals, fluorinated pharmaceuticals, and advanced materials. The combination of phenolic and fluorinated functionalities imparts unique properties such as increased lipophilicity, metabolic stability, and potential bioactivity, making it important in medicinal and industrial chemistry.
