Description:2,4-Difluorophenol is an aromatic organic compound characterized by the presence of two fluorine atoms substituted at the 2 and 4 positions of a phenolic ring. Its molecular formula is C6H4F2O, and it features a hydroxyl (-OH) group, which imparts acidic properties to the compound. This substance is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature and purity. It has a moderate boiling point and is soluble in organic solvents, while exhibiting limited solubility in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the fluorinated aromatic ring. 2,4-Difluorophenol is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fluorinated compounds. Its reactivity is influenced by the electronegative fluorine atoms, which can affect the compound's acidity and nucleophilicity. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks upon exposure.
