CAS 331-62-4

3-Fluoro-4-methoxybenzonitrile

Description:

3-Fluoro-4-methoxybenzonitrile, with the CAS number 331-62-4, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a fluorine atom and a methoxy group attached to a benzene ring that also contains a nitrile functional group. This compound typically exhibits a white to light yellow crystalline appearance. The fluorine atom contributes to its unique electronic properties, potentially enhancing its reactivity and influencing its interactions with other molecules. The methoxy group (-OCH3) is known for its electron-donating effects, which can stabilize the aromatic ring and affect the compound's overall polarity. The nitrile group (-C≡N) is a strong electron-withdrawing group, which can impart significant acidity to adjacent hydrogen atoms and influence the compound's solubility in various solvents. 3-Fluoro-4-methoxybenzonitrile is often utilized in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals, owing to its functional groups that allow for further chemical modifications.
