Description:2-Fluorothiophenol, with the CAS number 2557-78-0, is an organofluorine compound characterized by the presence of both a fluorine atom and a thiol group (-SH) attached to a thiophene ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water, which is common for many thiophenol derivatives. The presence of the fluorine atom enhances its reactivity and can influence its chemical properties, such as acidity and nucleophilicity. 2-Fluorothiophenol can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and coupling reactions, making it valuable in organic synthesis and materials science. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, which warrants careful handling due to potential toxicity. As with many thiophenols, it is important to consider safety measures when working with this compound, as it can be harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin.
