Phosphonic acid, [(2,4-difluorophenyl)methyl]-, diethyl ester

Description:

Phosphonic acid, [(2,4-difluorophenyl)methyl]-, diethyl ester, identified by CAS number 127218-03-5, is an organophosphorus compound characterized by the presence of a phosphonic acid functional group and two ethyl ester groups. This compound features a difluorophenyl moiety, which contributes to its unique chemical properties and potential biological activity. The presence of fluorine atoms can enhance lipophilicity and influence the compound's reactivity and interaction with biological systems. Typically, phosphonic acids exhibit strong acidity due to the presence of the phosphonic acid group, which can participate in hydrogen bonding and coordination with metal ions. The diethyl ester functionality allows for increased solubility in organic solvents and may facilitate various chemical reactions, including hydrolysis to yield the corresponding phosphonic acid. This compound may have applications in agriculture, pharmaceuticals, or as a chemical intermediate, although specific uses would depend on further research into its biological activity and environmental impact. Safety and handling precautions should be observed due to the potential toxicity associated with organophosphorus compounds.
