(Trifluoromethoxy)benzene (CAT: L011363) is an aromatic compound consisting of a benzene ring substituted with a trifluoromethoxy (–OCF₃) group. The strong electron-withdrawing nature of the trifluoromethoxy moiety imparts unique electronic properties, enhancing the compound’s lipophilicity, chemical stability, and metabolic resistance. It serves as a valuable intermediate in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials research, where the –OCF₃ group can improve bioavailability, binding affinity, and overall molecular performance. Its stability and hydrophobic character also make it a useful building block in designing fluorinated aromatic systems for advanced functional materials and biologically active compounds.
