Description:3,4-Difluorophenol is an aromatic organic compound characterized by the presence of two fluorine atoms substituted on the phenolic ring at the 3 and 4 positions relative to the hydroxyl (-OH) group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature and purity. It has a molecular formula of C6H4F2O and features a phenolic structure that imparts certain chemical properties, such as acidity due to the hydroxyl group. The presence of fluorine atoms enhances its reactivity and can influence its physical properties, such as boiling and melting points, making it more polar compared to non-fluorinated phenols. 3,4-Difluorophenol is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fluorinated compounds. It is important to handle this substance with care due to potential toxicity and environmental impact, as well as to follow appropriate safety protocols during its use and disposal.
