4-Methoxy-3-(trifluoromethyl)aniline(CAS: 393-15-7)

4-Methoxy-3-(trifluoromethyl)aniline has a crystalline form and a molecular weight of approximately 268.08 g/mol. It is slightly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and methanol. Chemically, it is stable under normal conditions but may react with strong reducing agents.

4-Methoxy-3-(trifluoromethyl)aniline is typically synthesized via the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of aniline with methyl trifluoromethyl ketone in the presence of aluminum chloride. The process yields a pure product with high selectivity and a good yield (up to 80%).

4-Methoxy-3-(trifluoromethyl)aniline is used in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of certain drugs, in the polymer industry for the production of special polymers, and in the sensor industry for the development of chemical sensors. It is also used in semiconductor applications for the fabrication of electronic materials.

When handling 4-Methoxy-3-(trifluoromethyl)aniline, use proper personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Work in a fume hood to avoid inhalation. Spills should be cleaned up using appropriate absorbents, and the area should be ventilated. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed safety information and emergency procedures.
