3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenol (CAS 98-17-9): Fluorinated Building Block with Hundreds of Kilograms in Stock - Agra

3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenol (CAS: 98-17-9) is a versatile fluorinated aromatic intermediate used in pharmaceutical synthesis, agrochemical development, and specialty chemical production. Featuring both a phenolic hydroxyl group and a trifluoromethyl substituent, it offers useful reactivity for further functionalization and molecular design.

The trifluoromethyl group can significantly influence the electronic and physicochemical properties of aromatic molecules, making CF?-containing building blocks valuable in medicinal chemistry and crop protection research. Meanwhile, the phenolic hydroxyl group provides a convenient functional site for reactions such as etherification, esterification, and other derivatization processes.

3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenol is therefore suitable for the synthesis of fluorinated intermediates and more complex aromatic compounds. Its combination of a reactive phenol group and a strongly electron-withdrawing CF? group makes it a practical starting material for multi-step organic synthesis.

UCHEM currently has hundreds of kilograms of 3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenol (CAS: 98-17-9) in stock, providing customers with a dependable option for both ongoing projects and larger-scale procurement. Ready inventory can help shorten lead times and improve supply continuity for production schedules.
