Description:2,4-Difluorobenzaldehyde is an aromatic aldehyde characterized by the presence of two fluorine atoms positioned at the 2 and 4 positions on a benzene ring, with an aldehyde functional group (-CHO) attached. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct aromatic odor. It is known for its reactivity due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the fluorine substituents, which can influence its chemical behavior, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of fluorine can enhance lipophilicity and metabolic stability, which are desirable traits in drug design. 2,4-Difluorobenzaldehyde is soluble in organic solvents and may exhibit moderate solubility in water. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate personal protective equipment should be used.
