Description:3-Fluorobenzoyl chloride, with the CAS number 1711-07-5, is an aromatic acyl chloride characterized by the presence of a fluorine atom at the meta position relative to the carbonyl group on a benzene ring. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, indicative of its reactivity. As an acyl chloride, it is highly reactive, particularly with nucleophiles, and is commonly used in organic synthesis for the introduction of the 3-fluorobenzoyl group into various substrates. It can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, leading to the formation of 3-fluorobenzoic acid. The presence of the fluorine atom can influence the electronic properties of the molecule, potentially enhancing its reactivity compared to non-fluorinated analogs. Safety precautions are essential when handling this compound, as it can cause severe irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, dry place, away from moisture, is also crucial to maintain its stability and prevent unwanted reactions.
