2,6-Difluoro-3-methylbenzaldehyde

Description:
2,6-Difluoro-3-methylbenzaldehyde is an aromatic aldehyde characterized by the presence of two fluorine atoms and a methyl group on a benzene ring, specifically at the 2 and 6 positions relative to the aldehyde functional group located at the 1 position. This compound typically exhibits a pale yellow to colorless liquid appearance and has a distinct aromatic odor. Its molecular structure contributes to its reactivity, particularly in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. The presence of fluorine atoms enhances its polarity and can influence its solubility in various solvents, making it more soluble in polar organic solvents compared to non-polar ones. Additionally, the compound may exhibit interesting properties such as varying boiling and melting points due to the influence of the fluorine substituents. As with many aldehydes, it can participate in condensation reactions and is often used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks.
