4-Methylfluorene

Description:

4-Methylfluorene is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which consists of a fluorene backbone with a methyl group attached at the 4-position. It is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and exhibits properties typical of such compounds, including a planar structure and significant stability due to resonance. The compound is generally colorless to pale yellow and may appear as a solid at room temperature. It is relatively insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as benzene and toluene. 4-Methylfluorene is known for its fluorescence properties, making it of interest in various applications, including organic electronics and photonics. Additionally, it can undergo typical reactions of aromatic compounds, such as electrophilic substitution. Safety data indicates that, like many PAHs, it should be handled with care due to potential health risks associated with exposure. Overall, 4-Methylfluorene serves as a useful building block in organic synthesis and materials science.
