2,3-Difluoro-4-methylbenzoic acid

Description:
2,3-Difluoro-4-methylbenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of two fluorine atoms and a methyl group on a benzoic acid framework. The fluorine substituents are located at the 2 and 3 positions of the benzene ring, while the methyl group is positioned at the 4 position, contributing to the compound's overall polarity and reactivity. This compound typically exhibits a solid state at room temperature and is soluble in polar organic solvents due to its carboxylic acid functional group. The presence of fluorine atoms enhances its lipophilicity and can influence its biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical applications. Additionally, the compound may exhibit unique thermal and spectral properties, which can be analyzed using techniques such as NMR and IR spectroscopy. Its chemical behavior, including acidity and reactivity with nucleophiles, is influenced by the electron-withdrawing nature of the fluorine atoms, making it a valuable compound for synthetic organic chemistry and materials science.
