2-Fluoro-4-methoxybenzoic acid

Description:
2-Fluoro-4-methoxybenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a fluoro group and a methoxy group on a benzoic acid framework. The molecular structure features a benzene ring substituted at the 2-position with a fluorine atom and at the 4-position with a methoxy group (-OCH3), which influences its chemical properties and reactivity. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, while its solubility in water may be limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic ring. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and amidation. Additionally, the fluorine atom can enhance the compound's biological activity and lipophilicity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research. Safety data indicates that, like many fluorinated compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
