2,3-Difluoropropanoic acid

Description:
2,3-Difluoropropanoic acid is a fluorinated carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of two fluorine atoms attached to the second and third carbon atoms of a three-carbon propanoic acid chain. Its molecular formula is C3H4F2O2, and it features a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH), which imparts acidic properties. 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 its non-fluorinated counterparts. This compound is typically a colorless liquid or solid at room temperature and is soluble in polar solvents due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds. 2,3-Difluoropropanoic acid is of interest in various fields, including organic synthesis and pharmaceuticals, due to its potential applications in creating fluorinated compounds and its role as an intermediate in chemical reactions. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
