2-Fluorobenzyl chloride

Description:
2-Fluorobenzyl chloride, with the CAS number 345-35-7, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzyl group substituted with a fluorine atom at the ortho position relative to the benzyl chloride functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a distinctive aromatic odor. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents such as ether and chloroform but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic benzyl structure. The presence of the fluorine atom enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis processes, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. 2-Fluorobenzyl chloride can undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions, where the chlorine atom can be replaced by various nucleophiles. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this compound, as it can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances is also essential to maintain its stability and prevent hazardous reactions.
