2,2-difluoroethanol

Description:

2,2-Difluoroethanol is an organic compound characterized by the presence of two fluorine atoms attached to the second carbon of an ethanol molecule. Its molecular formula is C2H4F2O, and it features a hydroxyl (-OH) group, which classifies it as an alcohol. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a slightly sweet odor and is soluble in water due to the polar nature of the hydroxyl group. The presence of fluorine atoms enhances its reactivity and can influence its physical properties, such as boiling point and viscosity. 2,2-Difluoroethanol is used in various applications, including as a solvent and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. It is important to handle this substance with care, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during its use. Additionally, its unique properties make it a subject of interest in research related to fluorinated compounds and their applications in pharmaceuticals and materials science.
