Benzoyl fluoride, 2,6-dimethoxy- (9CI)

Description:

Benzoyl fluoride, 2,6-dimethoxy- is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzoyl group and two methoxy substituents at the 2 and 6 positions of the aromatic ring. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. This compound is known for its reactivity, particularly due to the presence of the fluoride group, which can participate in various chemical reactions, including acylation and fluorination processes. It is soluble in organic solvents and may exhibit moderate volatility. The methoxy groups contribute to its electronic properties, influencing its reactivity and stability. Benzoyl fluoride derivatives are often utilized in organic synthesis and can serve as intermediates in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. As with many chemical substances, appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks such as skin and eye irritation or respiratory issues upon exposure.
