1,1'-Biphenyl, 4'-fluoro-3-methoxy-

Description:

1,1'-Biphenyl, 4'-fluoro-3-methoxy- is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure, which consists of two phenyl rings connected by a single bond. The presence of a fluorine atom at the para position of one phenyl ring and a methoxy group (-OCH3) at the meta position relative to the fluorine introduces specific electronic and steric effects that influence its chemical reactivity and physical properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. It is relatively non-polar, which affects its solubility in various solvents. The methoxy group can participate in hydrogen bonding, while the fluorine atom can enhance the compound's reactivity due to its electronegativity. 1,1'-Biphenyl, 4'-fluoro-3-methoxy- may be used in various applications, including organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and as an intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
