2,3-Difluoro-4-methylbenzoyl chloride

Description:
2,3-Difluoro-4-methylbenzoyl chloride is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzoyl chloride functional group, which is a derivative of benzoic acid where the hydroxyl group is replaced by a chlorine atom. This compound features two fluorine atoms at the 2 and 3 positions and a methyl group at the 4 position of the benzene ring, contributing to its unique reactivity and properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, indicative of its reactivity, particularly with nucleophiles due to the electrophilic nature of the carbonyl carbon in the benzoyl chloride moiety. The presence of fluorine atoms enhances its lipophilicity and may influence its biological activity. As a reagent, it is often used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various fluorinated compounds and pharmaceuticals. Due to its reactive nature, it should be handled with care, following appropriate safety protocols to avoid exposure to its corrosive and potentially harmful effects.
