(5-fluoro-2-methylphenyl)methanol

Description:
(5-Fluoro-2-methylphenyl)methanol, with the CAS number 22062-54-0, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a fluorine atom and a methyl group attached to a phenyl ring, along with a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH). This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but its solubility in water is limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic ring. The presence of the fluorine atom can influence the compound's reactivity and biological activity, often enhancing its lipophilicity and altering its interaction with biological systems. (5-Fluoro-2-methylphenyl)methanol may be utilized in various chemical syntheses and research applications, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. As with many organic compounds, it is essential to handle it with care, following appropriate safety protocols to mitigate any potential health risks associated with exposure.
