Description:4-Bromo-3-fluorophenol is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both bromine and fluorine substituents on a phenolic ring. Specifically, the bromine atom is located at the para position (4-position) and the fluorine atom at the meta position (3-position) relative to the hydroxyl (-OH) group. This compound typically appears as a solid at room temperature and is known for its potential applications in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its unique electronic properties imparted by the halogen substituents. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its solubility in polar solvents, while the halogens can influence its reactivity and interaction with biological systems. 4-Bromo-3-fluorophenol may exhibit various chemical behaviors, including hydrogen bonding and electrophilic substitution reactions, making it a valuable intermediate in synthetic organic chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as halogenated compounds can pose health risks.
