3-Fluoro-4-methylbenzonitrile

Description:

3-Fluoro-4-methylbenzonitrile, with the CAS number 170572-49-3, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a fluorine atom and a nitrile group attached to a methyl-substituted benzene ring. This compound features a fluorine atom at the meta position (3-position) relative to the nitrile group (–C≡N) and a methyl group (–CH₃) at the para position (4-position) on the benzene ring. The presence of the nitrile group imparts significant polarity and can influence the compound's reactivity, making it useful in various synthetic applications. The fluorine atom can enhance the compound's lipophilicity and may affect its biological activity. 3-Fluoro-4-methylbenzonitrile is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its state at room temperature. It is important in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with many nitriles, it may pose health risks if not managed properly.
