1,3,5-tris(trifluoromethyl)benzene is a tri-substituted benzene. It has been synthesized by reacting benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid with SF4. Reports suggest that 1,3,5-tris(trifluoromethyl)benzene is a nonanesthetics and shows convulsant properties. Its vapor absorption spectra and corresponding solution spectra has been investigated. Its reaction with methyl lithium has been analyzed using semiempirical reaction modelling.
