2-Chloro-5-nitrobenzotrifluoride Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Clear colourless to light yellow liquid

Uses

2-Chloro-5-nitrobenzotrifluoride is a polysubstituted organic fluorotoluene analogue. Its molecular structure has a reactive group chlorine atom at the 2-position and a nitro group at the 5-position. Therefore, the substance has high chemical reactivity and is widely used in the field of organic synthesis. It can be used to prepare asymmetric and symmetric diamine monomers containing trifluoromethyl groups, which in turn can be used to further prepare soluble polyimide, a multifunctional molecular material^[1].
