Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol CAS 886500-21-6 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 2-Chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol (C8H6ClF3O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 210.58 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
