CAS 1897-52-5

2,6-Difluorobenzonitrile

Description:

2,6-Difluorobenzonitrile, with the CAS number 1897-52-5, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a benzene ring substituted with two fluorine atoms at the 2 and 6 positions and a nitrile group (-C≡N) at the 1 position. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its physical state at room temperature. It exhibits a relatively high boiling point and low solubility in water, but it is soluble in organic solvents such as acetone and dichloromethane. The presence of the fluorine atoms enhances its chemical stability and influences its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications, particularly in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, 2,6-difluorobenzonitrile can participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the nitrile group, which can affect the reactivity of the aromatic ring. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
