1-Fluoro-4-methoxy-2-methylbenzene

Description:

1-Fluoro-4-methoxy-2-methylbenzene, also known as 4-fluoro-2-methyl anisole, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a fluorine atom, a methoxy group (-OCH3), and a methyl group (-CH3) attached to a benzene ring. This compound typically exhibits a colorless to pale yellow liquid form with a distinct aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the fluorine atom can influence its reactivity and polarity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The methoxy group contributes to its electron-donating properties, which can affect the compound's reactivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Safety data indicates that, like many fluorinated compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested. Proper storage and handling protocols are essential to ensure safety in laboratory and industrial settings.
