4-(Trifluoromethyl)diphenyl ether, with the CAS number 2367-02-4, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a trifluoromethyl group (-CF3) attached to a diphenyl ether structure. This compound features two phenyl rings connected by an ether linkage (–O–), with the trifluoromethyl group positioned on one of the phenyl rings. The presence of the trifluoromethyl group imparts unique properties, such as increased lipophilicity and thermal stability, making it of interest in various chemical applications, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its specific form and purity. It is relatively stable under standard conditions but may undergo reactions typical of aromatic compounds, such as electrophilic substitution. Due to the presence of fluorine atoms, it may exhibit distinctive spectroscopic characteristics, including shifts in NMR and IR spectra. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as fluorinated compounds can pose specific health and environmental risks.
