2,6-Difluoro-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde oxime

Description:

2,6-Difluoro-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde oxime is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both aldehyde and hydroxyl functional groups, along with two fluorine substituents on the benzene ring. Its molecular structure features a benzene ring with a hydroxyl group (-OH) and an oxime group (-C=N-OH) attached to the aromatic system, which contributes to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. The fluorine atoms enhance the compound's polarity and may influence its biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit moderate solubility in polar solvents due to the presence of the hydroxyl group.
