3-(Trifluoromethyl)aniline is a compound with the molecular formula CF3C6H4NH2. It is an aromatic amine.

3-(Trifluoromethyl)aniline is an intermediate in the production of the herbicide fluometuron.[1] It is synthesized from benzotrifluoride via nitration followed by reduction to meta-H2NC6H4CF3. 3-(Trifluoromethyl)aniline is then converted to the urea, fluometuron.
