TCI C1004 2-(Trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile (CAS 447-60-9) is the ortho isomer of the trifluoromethylbenzonitrile series, placing the CF₃ group directly adjacent to the nitrile. This proximity provides both steric and electronic influence and enables intramolecular cyclisations that the meta and para isomers cannot offer. The nitrile can also be converted into benzoic acids, amides, benzylamines, amidines, or tetrazoles depending on the synthetic route. AMI Scientific stocks 5 g and 25 g packs; handle the material in a fume hood and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place.
