Fluorohydroxybenzylalcohol

Description:
Fluorohydroxybenzylalcohol, with the CAS number 2357-33-7, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both fluorine and hydroxyl functional groups attached to a benzyl alcohol structure. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with aromatic alcohols, including moderate solubility in polar solvents due to the hydroxyl group, while the fluorine atom can influence its reactivity and polarity. The presence of the fluorine atom may enhance the compound's lipophilicity and alter its biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry and material science. Fluorohydroxybenzylalcohol may also participate in various chemical reactions, such as nucleophilic substitutions or electrophilic aromatic substitutions, depending on the conditions and the presence of other reagents. Its unique combination of functional groups can lead to diverse applications, including potential uses in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. As with many fluorinated compounds, safety and environmental considerations are important, given the potential for persistence and bioaccumulation.
