CAS 1261442-16-3

2-(Difluoromethyl)-5-nitrophenol

Description:

2-(Difluoromethyl)-5-nitrophenol, identified by its CAS number 1261442-16-3, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a nitrophenol moiety substituted with a difluoromethyl group. This compound typically exhibits a pale yellow to light brown appearance and is soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its aromatic structure. The nitro group contributes to its electron-withdrawing properties, which can influence its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis or as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The difluoromethyl group enhances the compound's lipophilicity and may affect its biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Additionally, the presence of both the nitro and difluoromethyl substituents can impart unique physical and chemical properties, such as altered melting and boiling points compared to related compounds. Safety data should be consulted, as nitrophenols can be hazardous, and appropriate handling and disposal measures are necessary when working with this substance.
