2,4′-Difluoro-4-methyl-1,1′-biphenyl

Description:

2,4′-Difluoro-4-methyl-1,1′-biphenyl is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure, which consists of two phenyl rings connected by a single bond. The presence of two fluorine atoms at the 2 and 4' positions and a methyl group at the 4 position of one of the phenyl rings contributes to its unique chemical properties. This compound is typically colorless to pale yellow in appearance and is likely to be a solid at room temperature. It exhibits moderate polarity due to the electronegative fluorine substituents, which can influence its solubility in various organic solvents. The fluorine atoms can also enhance the compound's thermal stability and may affect its reactivity in electrophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, 2,4′-Difluoro-4-methyl-1,1′-biphenyl may have applications in materials science, particularly in the development of liquid crystals or as a precursor in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and potential hazards associated with this chemical.
