2,6-Difluoro-3-methylbenzoyl chloride

Description:
2,6-Difluoro-3-methylbenzoyl chloride is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, featuring a benzoyl chloride functional group. It contains two fluorine atoms located at the 2 and 6 positions of the benzene ring, and a methyl group at the 3 position, contributing to its unique reactivity and properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. It is known for its role as an acylating agent in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of the electron-withdrawing fluorine atoms enhances its electrophilic character, making it more reactive towards nucleophiles. Additionally, 2,6-Difluoro-3-methylbenzoyl chloride is sensitive to moisture and should be handled with care, as it can hydrolyze to form the corresponding carboxylic acid. Proper storage in a cool, dry place and the use of appropriate personal protective equipment are essential when working with this compound.
