2-FLUORO-5-METHOXYBENZYL ALCOHOL

Description:
2-Fluoro-5-methoxybenzyl alcohol is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a fluorine atom and a methoxy group attached to a benzyl alcohol structure. This compound features a benzene ring substituted at the 2-position with a fluorine atom and at the 5-position with a methoxy group (-OCH3), along with a hydroxyl group (-OH) at the benzyl position. The presence of the fluorine atom can influence the compound's reactivity and polarity, while the methoxy group contributes to its overall hydrophobic character. This compound is typically used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its properties, such as solubility, boiling point, and melting point, can be influenced by the functional groups present and their spatial arrangement. Additionally, the compound's reactivity may be affected by the electron-withdrawing nature of the fluorine atom, which can enhance nucleophilic attack at the benzyl position. Safety data and handling precautions should be considered due to the potential hazards associated with chemical substances.
